Rumor Says Nader Rejected Cash Offer to Drop Out; States Tell Vote-Swap Webbies to Back Off

by James Ridgeway

OCTOBER 31—After surviving Gore-inspired "flash attacks" over the weekend, Ralph Nader's campaign is now the target of a propaganda wave. One high-profile Gore partisan this morning was spreading a nasty rumor about the Nader machine. According to the scuttlebutt, Nader operatives had leaked information that the consumer advocate had been secretly offered $12 million—the amount his Green Party would get in federal matching funds if he won 5 percent of the vote next Tuesday—to take a fall against Gore in key states. The whisperer said Nader had refused the money.
Nader's campaign immediately denied the story. "Unbelievable," said one spokeperson. Another flatly rejected the rumor and reiterated the candidate's dedication to staying in the hunt. "I can absolutely assure you Ralph has no intention of dropping out of the race."
