Exit polling of Nader voters clearly indicated that a chunk of them would have gone with Gore had Nader not been on the ballot.

Why stop with Nader?

Let's see, all those morons who couldn't figure out a ballot (Buchanan) could have cost Gore the election.

Those free thinkers, Harry Browne and John Hagler could have cost Gore the election.

Hey, even Monica Moorehead of the Workers World party could have cost Gore the election. Imagine the "headlines" from that...

The idea that Gore is entitled to anyone's vote is obscene.

There is NO evidence that people who voted for Nader would have cast their vote for Gore. Most would have stayed home IMO.
