$1 A Signature Nader Petitioners Do Very Well @ GOP Events
From The Indianapolis Star via Zogby:

When a worker seeking voters' signatures to list presidential candidate Ralph Nader on the West Virginia ballot stood outside a fund-raiser for Sen. John Kerry here recently, Democrats were angry.

"One guy said he wanted to shoot me in the head," said Gary Thompson, who garnered only four or five signatures to get Nader on the ballot.

When Thompson, who is paid $1 per signature, went the next day to an event featuring President Bush in Beckley, he collected more than 300 signatures from Republicans eager to help him register Nader.

Hmmm, so how come these Republicans don't know that Nader is going to be taking votes from Bush?

"(Nader) is the difference in virtually every battleground state."
- John Zogby

Another happy Nader supporter

2. This could backfire as I have heard that some repugs as voting
Nader as they can't stand bush and don't like Kerry...So this won't hurt us as much as you think (it could be a wash).
