That is our best option, I believe. We need fresh leadership that understands that the Dems need to OPPOSE the Republicans and assert their support for the interests of the vast majority of Americans.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Nader will draw off a significant number of votes this time. (Fool me once, won't get fooled again) I like to think even the most ardant, naive, and wild-eyed Naderite will see that the vote is about ending the Republican dictatorship, and that means voting for the Dem.<BR/><BR/>That said, the more Nader is allowed to present the anti-corporatist perspective to the public the better. Maybe Hillary and Obama will understand the resonance of the message and amplify it. <BR/><BR/>That could actually be Nader's positive influence.Dave Dubyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03279370558997246976noreply@blogger.com
