The survey didn't mention Nader by name and represents only those who mentioned Nader by name, he said. He didn't include Nader because it's still unclear whether Nader will even appear on the ballot in Oregon, Bloom said.

Well, that explains why Nader is getting ONLY 1% in Oregon of all places

I do think Kerry especially as he refuses to say he will cut and run and want a tax cut for Haliburton etc. is in a dicey situation:

1. He makes it so that Nader will not drop out of the race.

2. He may chase some of his supporters to Nader.

3. If that then causes others to feel he can not win, even more might go over to Nader.

It could go really bad and snowball on Kerry.
