DU'ers are giving Nader way to much credit...

[phillybri]

Come back from the ledge, everyone. Many DUers are making the same mistake that Bill Richardson and several other prominent made this weekend, that is conveying an aura of fear with regards to Nader.

Nader, if he can even get on the ballot, will be at most a non-factor. Even some of his most staunch 2000 supporters aren't hopping on for the ride this time. There's too much to lose if W gets another 4 years...

If the Democratic Party (and us, by extension) can't step up and say "Nader will not stop us from defeating Bush", then we are in deep, deep shit...

1. Agreed

The person most likely to be damaged by Nader's campaign will be Nader himself.

2. Well they were showing him with . . .

Michael Moore on TV last night. Now that could be from the last time he ran, I do not know; however, does anyone know if
Michael Moore has come out in support of Nadar? (I don't care one way or the other if Moore did or did not, I'm just wondering if that was recent footage or footage from 2000).

7. I highly highly doubt it

No way MM supports Nader. He's ABB all the way.

9. The footage was from 2000...

Moore said he would support ABB except Lieberman...

3. I would rather take every potential threat seriously.....

and make it a rally cry for voter turn out,
than to dismiss it.

I think so many people thought it was sewn up last time,
that the apathy worked against us.

6. I will only come back from the ledge

When Nader is thrown over it.

8. 500 votes in one state made a difference...
