It explains nothing of the sort.

It does explain that if you are the governor of a State in clear economic trouble and have the personality of a dead fish, you can lose to almost anyone.

Left wingers went no where. Camejo semed like a good candidate in the debate I saw. Where did he end up 1 to maybe 2 percent?

McClintock was the right winger and he ended up third, correct?

How many times more votes did McClintock get than the nearest leftist candidate?

Bustamonte ran a bit left of center, and came in second correct?

Ahnold tried to run down the middle (fiscal right, social left), came in first, correct?

Bush tried to run down the middle (yes, it was a lie) and he came in a close second.

Gore ran down the center (slightly left of dead center) and he came in first.

Nader ran left and came in a rather distant third (about 2%), correct?

What does running left and getting a quite consistent 2 percent of the vote tell you about the dangers of leftist candidates?
