"I wonder why ANYone is worrying or thinking about Nader and his 1%."
I'm thinking about Nader, because I think his personality is such that he would tell his backers to vote Republican just to spite the Democrats who are treating him so badly. He just has to reach a certain tipping point.
(Democrats lose lawsuit, delay ballots to troops)
Shouldn't "delay ballots to troops" be a win for them ?
Since the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the Democrats' lawsuit was without merit - the delay itself should be an issue in the election.
The Democrats tried to disenfranchise our troops overseas - over a cheap publicity stunt lawsuit. The Arkansas GOP should place ads on TV to advise voters of this fact.
No, it's about delaying absentee ballots to suppress the overseas military vote...IMHO
"Since the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the Democrats' lawsuit was without merit - the delay itself should be an issue in the election.
You can't unring the bell - if the delay negates some military votes, will a fine add more votes to Bush's side ?
How much would the Dems gladly pay to kill each military vote ?
Hey, let's HEAR it for cheese!
I think that he is being GROSSLY overestimated here. But, that's just my opinion.
Last election the Llibertarians were POSITIVE that their candidate would make some numberical difference in the election. That was a giant overestimation. He was as visible, potent and important as gnat droppings in pepper.
To me, THAT is Nader's nadir...gnat droppings in pepper.
I don't get the connection. What has Nader got to do with suppression of overseas military ballots?
Elucidate.
Nader took 10's of thousands of votes from Gore in Florida, yes some of them might of not bothered voting if there was no Nader on the ballot, but enough would have voted for Gore to erase that 537.
Every close state that Nader can run in can only help President Bush in this election.
The Nader situation delayed the mailing of absentee ballots here in NM too.
