Poll question: Would you make this deal with Ralph Nader?
Edited on Sun Feb-22-04 05:56 PM by JohnLocke
If Ralph Nader offered to drop his presidential run in exchange for the position of Sec. of the Interior (or EPA chief, whatever) would you accept it?

5. A terrorist, by definition, uses violence to accomplish his or her goals.

7. NO, nader missed his opportunity for
something like that, should have been BEFORE he decided to run. Anyway I don't think he is going to be of that much importance, too many people remember how voting for him influenced the last election.

13. Conditionally. Two things:
1) It absolutely MUST be kept secret. If Ralph lets it slip, EVER, the deal is off, period. He must agree to this in writing, but (we) don't sign anything, and we deny everything.

2) He must endorse the Dem nominee. No behind the back attacks, or any funny business.
