Will Nader Try To Take Some Of The Credit For "Helping" Kerry Win?

[arwalden]

Will Nader try to claim that but not for his efforts, Kerry would have drifted too far to the right? Will he claim that he helped to shape Kerry's message... and claim responsibility for Kerry's success?

Or will he just fade into obscurity (until the next election)?

1. Absolutely he will

Keeping Kerry focused and all that crap

[Warren DeMontague]

2. Yeah, and get laughed at. Only way he can get any traction from this deal

now is to DROP OUT.

Hear me, Ralph? You can still take some credit- but only by throwing your support to Kerry.

3. Maybe he can claim that but not for his efforts, Kerry would have

drifted to the LEFT.

After all, Ralph's campaign is being funded and run by right-wingers and GOP shills.

4. Good Call Arwalden! I'm Thinking Your Question Is Kinda Rhetorical

as for the obscurity angle?

I'm not making any prediction. :D

If the GOP thinks they can still beat his dead carcass for some percieved useful purpose... Ralph probably WILL stick around.

5. I don't doubt it

And he will use that as an excuse for running in 2008.

6. Not likely. Kerry hasn't been all that left-leaning.

The "traditional" left to right line runs from the lower left quadrant to the upper right one.



(And just for good measure, I am way further south and left of Ralph and Cobb. So "left" may mean something different to me than it does to you.)

7. Lets stop talking about Nader, maybe he'll go away.
