Upon further reflection, I think those of you who are hysterical about Ralph Nader hae a point. I now think he is going to be a problem. Here's why:

Kerry is the likely nominee (tho by no means has it sewn up quite yet). But Mr. Excitement he isn't. I'm sorry, he's just not. Snore

DUers have been insisting for months and months now that he's the ELECTABLE one -- well, that remains to be seen. Obviously, Kerry supporters aren't so sure, else they wouldn't be upset about Nader. They must know something the rest of us don't. I trust their word on this.

Too, Mr. Excitement has turned off a lot of people (e.g., Dean supporters, anti-war folks, the jobless) by his actions, pro-Bush votes, dirty tricks, etc., but one of the larger problems is that he just doesn't turn that many people ON. I can easily see lower turnouts than expected in November as a result.

Throw in the fact that the more anti-Nader hysteria there is, the more attention he gets. Throw in the fact that the Republicans are going to be sending Nader money.

So between the Nader vote, not to mention the computerized voting machines, and we may indeed have a problem come November.

(If so, be sure to take it up with people like Terry McAwful and Al Frump.)
