my positions are
a) to suggest that nader shouldn't run merely because he could hurt the dem candidate is counter to the spirit of democracy, and
b) the nader-bashing does nothing to endear the party to potential nader voters, who might be persuaded to vote democrat if they thought they might have a chance in hell of getting their voices heard. forget the anti-nader rhetoric, the progressives are LISTENING to him. you want their attention and their votes, it's smarter to pick up a few of his more salient points (which i even pointed out either here on in a similar thread, some of which kucinich, yes, a DEM, is in agreement with) rather than demonising him.
