He has signed the "I want Romney to win" oath instead. Zalatix Sep 2012 #91

Where, in the article, did he express that wish? Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2012 #98

I will say it again in case you missed it in the OP Zalatix Sep 2012 #100

Nonsense. Again. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2012 #104

NOT nonsense. Nader cost Gore the election. That is a fact far beyond dispute. Zalatix Sep 2012 #106

Gore cost Gore the election. He didn't get enough people to vote for him. Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2012 #108
