What if THIS is the reason Nader wouldn't withdraw from the race?

I mean, look at how the thought process could have been:

Only a Presidential Candidate can call for a recount.

If Bush stole the election again, he wouldn't demand a recount.

If Bush stole the election again, a democrat might be persuaded to back down on the issue and not have another 'tear the country apart' deals that 2000 had, and might not demand a recount.

Thus... it might come down to a third candidate calling for a recount.

And who is a more well-known, famous or infamous as the case may be, third party candidate than Ralph Nader, crusader for the common people?

Bloody hell. If this is the case... man. You'd have to respect a dude who would be able to get money from the Republican party only to later turn it around to fund the recount.

Ralph Nader may just become my hero.
