I wonder if Nader's candidacy will be funded by rich Republicans!
LOL! It should be!
As "evil" as Nader's candidacy is among Democrats, Nader does make a
few good points.
First, Nader is only a factor in very very close elections.
The Democrats, alas, always seem to be forced to get a SUPER-MAJORITY
to win. It's tough but with Dubya's record it's DOABLE! And, when
your candidate, Gore, can't even carry his home state....well?
Second, Nader could appeal to the DEANIE BABIES! Dean supporters
would be a natural fit for Nader. These people are new to politics
and tend to be idealistic.
Third, Nader could pull the Democrats to the left, in much the same
way that Dean did before he dropped out of the race. But, damn, can
Kerry and Edward talk more "left" than they already are?
Still, Nader could REPLACE Dean as the NEW SPOKESMAN FOR THE LEFT.
The media willing of course.
Saddly, only actual "candidates" have their opinions on the "issues"
taken seriously by the media!
Everything else is just "color commentary" by "pundits."
Fourth, Nader, like Perot and Dean, has the amazing ability to SPEAK
THE TRUTH! And, the truth can be dangerous to the political class.
Unfortunately, there are still many naieve Americans who seek the
truth and believe in it. They don't know about the "code word" game
that's been adapted by the media and the political elite. These
people can be moved to vote for a third party.
Fifth, Nader could hurt the Republicans. Many EVANGELICALS are
disappointed by the hypocracy of Dubya and Chums. Many fiscal
conservatives may be squemish about voting for Dubya's Deficits.
And, many "off the grid" "home schooling" types could possibly move
from the Republicans to Nader.
In short;
Nader could appeal to some BUBBA REPUBLICANS WITH HIS POPULISM ON
JOBS, NAFTA, ENVIORMENTAL ISSUES, AND EXPANDED GOVERNMENT POWERS IN
THE PATRIOT ACT.
NET-NET I DON'T THINK NADER WILL SWING THIS ELECTION.
THIS ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED BY THE STATE OF PLAY IN IRAQ AND IN THE
US ECONOMY IN THE FALL OF 2004.
