Will Ralph Nader become Al Gore's worst nightmare?

Of more immediate interest, at least to Al Gore, are Nader's respectable poll numbers: 7 to 10 percent in California as of June, 6 percent nationally. If California tips Green enough, Bush could win the state and the whole damn election.
Which, Nader confided to Outside in June, wouldn't be so bad. When asked if someone put a gun to his head and told him to vote for either Gore or Bush, which he would choose, Nader answered without hesitation: "Bush."

8. Wow. Hillarys delegates not showing up must have really stung for you to pull out the Nader.

10. You are so very very confused. A corrupt supreme court awarded George W. Bush the presidency

He has the energy of someone half his age, though... puts me to shame.

Take care of yourself, Bernie! We need you!

14. Gore won the election in 2008. Hillary can't win against the Republicans in 2016.
