I think the danger for the Dems is strategic more than votes in particular states. With Nader in, Kerry can't move to the center freely; he has to worry about alienating his own left wing. Imagine the complications for W if Steve Forbes ran as an indy, God forbid.

Good thought. Nader does sandwich* Ketchupboy (or Edwards) to a degree.

Thinking more about Nader, though..he really could run a very liberal campaign while still positioning himself right of the Dems. How the hell does one run left of Kerry and remain on planet earth?

Nice dream. If he did, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. As it is, I'm going to have to vote Constitution, Libertarian or no choice at all. And I'm in Pennsylvania, a battleground state. I voted GWB last time around, but can't so again. If that means Kerry gets in, so be it.

At this point, the only hope for limited government is divided government. The Reps are turning out to be bigger panderers than the Dems. Nader is right about almost everything as he paints a picture of a corrupt Washington establishment tied to corporate special interests. Unfortunately, he is misguided if he thinks government can be used as a vehicle to solve the problems that government has created.

No, limiting government is our only hope. But no one seems to be for that anymore.
