Nader: another out of touch candidate whose finger could not be further from "the pulse."

I have detested Nader ever since he got famous for the misstatements in "Unsafe at any Speed." He is now the classic example of the seduction of the attention you get when running for office. It also keeps the money coming in. The guy has always made his living off of contributions.

No one has "proven" that Nader caused Gore to lose. No real analysis of the exit data exists.


Considering that the Florida 2000 Nader vote was hundreds of times larger than Bush's margin of victory, you have to assume either a) none of Nader's voters would not have voted for anyone else if Nader hadn't run, or b) those who did vote would have voted for Bush more than Gore.

Both assumptions seem pretty unlikely on the face of things.
