In every single poll the big debate loser was Nader
In every single poll that includes Nader the pre-debate Nader support shifted to Kerry almost entirely. In some polls the post-debate Nader vote dropped to 0%.

Truth is that Bush's core supporters are not much more likely to turn against Bush than they are to turn against Jesus. But Bush's core supporters are not a majority in this country. Anti-Bush voters are.

I doubt Nader voters suddenly fell in love with Kerry, but they were reminded that Bush is something much worse than just another Republican. He will kill your children if he gets the chance.

1. Nader is a gadfly...
His 15 minutes was up a long time ago. I feel sorry for the guy in a way. He is losing a lot of respect he built up over the years. For what?

2. Bush was the bigger loser
If you consider that Nader never had a chance in the first place. He had nothing to lose. Except that he is losing his real mission to get Bush elected.

I want that to be the truth more than you could ever imagine.

5. I've always felt that those Nader poll supporters...
would actually vote for Kerry once they got in the voting booth. It's easy to say I'll vote for someone, but actually doing it is a different thing altogether.

Getting rid of Bush is the most important thing. Anyone supporting Nader has to know this.
