Buchanon doesn't have to run to make a difference. He could take 2% of the Bush vote away because he totally disagrees with Bush foreign policy, and that's Bush's only issue. Bush has us on track to occupy 1/4 of the world during a severe recession.

Those little old ladies most likely didn't vote for Buchanan. They got that idea when the Democrat criminals called them up to ask if they had trouble with the ballots. Never occurred to them until the propagandists convinced their feeble minds that they "got screwed". It was all a setup for the post-election assault. The Dems then dropped them and walked away when they discovered, to their utter horror, that the low-income, illiterate blacks that they had lined up for multiple votes really COULDN'T read the ballots. That gave them their racist "civil rights" propaganda hook-far more effective for their Leninist purposes than making the feeble look even more feeble. They have been squeezing that racist angle ever since...

>>Neither Buchanan or Nader will run in 2004. Both failed to get 5% of the national vote and their parties lost their ballot slots. Nadar got 2% of the vote and Buchanan 1%. Those numbers will not be material to 2004. Bush's margin of victory will far exceed 3% in 2004.<<

Glenn -

I'm sure you're right on the first point. Certainly Nader isn't stupid enough to try to screw things up by running again.

As to the second point, we'll just have to wait and see. Don't count your votes until they're cast.

I'm sure that in '91, you would have predicted that the elder Bush would be re-elected easily. History has a way of repeating itself.
