ebill--Were you here I would bet my last dime that you are wrong about how the Nader voters would have voted. Even you said that "most would Have stayed home"...That means you would concede that the rest would have voted. Do you honestly believe that Nader voters would have voted for Bush over Gore?..roflmao CNN's Bill Schneider did a detailed analysis of the Nader impact. They interviewed NUMEROUS Nader voters and the results indicated nearly HALF of them would have voted for Gore had Nader not been on the ballot. Now, in OR and NH, Gore would have needed nearly half of the Nader vote to have won, so I will concede to you that that might have been a stretch for Gore. But, Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Allah, Abraham and what ever Supreme Being you might believe in Above, do you honestly believe that Gore would not have gotten at least 3 or 4 or 5 percent of Nader's 90+,000 vote in FL. Come on. That ain't a stretch at all. I am not saying Bush should be denied the Presidency because Nader took votes from Gore. I am only doing AFTER THE FACT analysis(that verifies BEFORE the FACT beliefs) that Nader was the difference in the sovereign state of Florida. Your opinion is great, and if you think it is superior to the extensive analysis that CNN did(and other networks as well), then you should go get an interview with Ted Turner and have him give you Schneider's job.
