I guess you forgot all about all of those registered Democrats in Florida
that voted for Bush in 2000. I memory serves, more Florida Democrats voted
for Bush (some where in the two hundred thousand vote range) than voted for
Nader, so how could Nader have thrown the election to Bush?

Just like I said, he split the progressive vote. If Nader hadn't been on
the ballot, Gore would easily have won Florida. (A good argument can be
made that he won it anyway.)

The situation was not unlike the Bush/Clinton/Perot race in the 1992
election. Perot split the angry, paranoid, nutcase (i.e.,
"conservative") vote.

Why do you think the Republicans go out of their way to get Nader on the
ballot, and the Democrats go out of their way to keep him off?
