1. Kerry only looses .2% in RCP average
when Nader is added in.

Some of these might truly be only Nader voters.

I think 1.5-2% is probably what Nader will get.

4. Eugene McCarthy Who Was A Mere Serious Candidate
Than Nader Could Ever Be Got Less Than One Percent As An Indy In 1976...

He was down to less than 1% for awhile...


I don't like the current polling trend...

2. My hope is that it's all
disenchanted Repubs who can't bring themselves to vote for Shrub; but can't stomach voting for Kerry either.

:nopity:

5. There is NO FUCKING way Nader will receive more than 1.2% this time!!!!
Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 05:40 PM by Zinfandel

Nationwide??? No Green Party backing him this time, he's not even on the ballot in 20 states, People are aware of Nader's bullshit this time around.

NO FUCKING WAY Nader will receive in my opion 0.8% nationwide, that's about 1.2 million votes nationwide.

6. Do you ever see a poll in which Nader is running at less than 2-3 percent?
He's either running at around that level, or he's not included in the poll. That's because of the principle -- I wish I could remember where I first heard it -- that the inclusion of a name on a poll against the front runners guarantees 2-3 percent, for whatever odd reasons.

This is not unique to Nader; the Libertarian party is lucky to get a third of one-percent of the popular vote in an election, but when they do their own polling the question is basically, "Do you plan to vote for Bush, Kerry, or Badnarik?" Then they get all excited because Badnarik gets 3% of the vote.

7. He will not register a blip - it's a hoaz just as the "dead heat" thingy
They love to make us believe it's 2000 all over again.
Remember, Ralphie didn't find enough supporters to put him on the ballot in most states!

8. When even Winona LaDukes, Nader's 2000 running mate
endorses Kerry, I think it's safe to say any votes he gets are from those who won't vote for Kerry, whether Nader is on the ballot or not.
