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." villagevoice.com

len; the ecomomy only works if a certain number of people are unemployed. If too little unemployment occurrs then you have companies competing for labor, salaries rise and inflation sets in. Thus, helping one group usually hurts another. Thus, we strive for the best qualified worker getting the job. Affirmative action thus has helped one group and hurt another group. However, it wasn't the group everyone thought it would be. Women allied themselves with minorities and have made themselves an aggrieved group and have made great gains. Now I ask you then who does that hurt?
