2. I can't imagine anyone voting for him.
However, I'm sure there are still some young, hardcore lefties that are seduced by his message. I can't imagine anyone on the right voting for him.

3. I don't get outraged
when people excercise they're constitutional rights, no matter how stupid they may seem to me.

5. Fuck Nader.

Where exactly is he polling at 3%? Any asshat who would vote for him can't possibly be a rational, caring human being.

6. He got 0.38% in 2004. I expect he'll do about the same this time.
Nothing to worry about, unless the bulk of that comes from one swing state.

12. A lot of people in safe states will vote for Nader.

13. I don't think he'll crack 1 percent.
If I were the repukes, I'd be very concerned about Ron Paul. We drove all over western Oregon this summer, lots of rural areas, and there was WAY more displayed support for Paul. I only saw one McCain sticker, and no yard signs, even in the reddest of the rednecky areas. Other people have reported similar things from other states. Even if Paul gets three or four percent in some states, that's enough to tip the balance.
