« Tough Questions | Main | Ben Chandler (D) wins KY-6 Special Election »

Don't do it, Ralph.
Knight Ridder's Maria Recio reports: "Nader expected to launch new bid for the White House"
Some Nader advocates had an epiphany after the 2000 election when the outcome was decided by Florida. Bush won the state by 537 votes, defeating Democratic nominee Gore. Democrats say Gore would have won with a small fraction of Nader's voters, who gave Nader 97,488 votes in the state. Nader also arguably cost Gore New Hampshire, where Bush won by 7,211 votes. Nader received 22,198 votes in the Granite State.
Nader always has rejected the spoiler label. "It is not my job to elect my opponents," he has said.
Of course, Lawrence Lessig of Stanford Law School rejects Nader's rejection in an analysis vouched for by Glasstrack.
