Freepers celebrate Nader's bid
"His 2 or 3 percent will likely come in real handy. We have him to thank for the narrow margin in Florida back in 2000." by Buckeye Battle Cry

"Wow.. If Clinton wins the primary, she will disenfranchise the black vote.. and all the lefties will go for Ralph.. Could be a perfect storm, fir the dems." by tje

11. I think you are right. I took a peek over at Hannity's forum
I'm on my way up to the shower now btw. They HATE McCain. Some of them are saying that they will vote for Nader. Yes, they do hate the democrats that much.

3. they're delusional
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 12:19 PM by Fighting Irish
Nader got 0.3% in '04. I can't see him doing any better this time around, particularly if Obama is the nominee.

And I'm thoroughly convinced the only voters he'll attract would be a small fringe group that probably wouldn't have voted otherwise.

Nobody's falling for this shit again, like in '00.

Quite frankly, I'd be way more worried if Mike Bloomberg ran.

7. 2%-to-3%? Are You Kidding?
Trader will be lucky to get 0.023% if he manages to remain in the race. It's difficult for a 74 year old man to get out of bed in the morning. He hardly has the energy to run for president.

10. They're completely full of shit
I hope they go nuts donating money to Nader, under the mistaken assumption that he'll take a significant number of votes away from the Democrats. He'll be lucky if 20 people vote for him.

14. Good research -- as for Repugs having a 3d party split, I think McCain will pre-empt that ...
if not by choosing to run with Huckabee then by selecting someone with a similar appeal to the evangelical base. It would be the politically savvy thing for McCain to do.
