(37,573 posts)and you, on the other hand are absolutely certain of Nader's innocence. Only about one third of those New Hampshire voters need to have done the right thing instead of the wrong things. Those are pretty good odds. You are just guessing that some 15,000 would stay at home if they didn't have an arrogant asshole spoiler to vote for. The very same asswipe who only got 3,503 votes in 2008 and only 4,479 votes in 2004, but yeah I am sure that 15,000 people would have stayed home, or voted for another Goofy if Nader wasn't on the ballot in 2000.
I mean, come on man, why keep grasping for any slender reed to avoid admitting a very likely truth? You seem to me like a person who sees a 500 kilogram bomb land ten centimeters from somebody and blow up, who then says, "well, since we can't find the body and do an autopsy to be sure of a cause of death, we cannot be certain that the bomb killed them." What would it take to convince you that 22,198 is greater than 7,212?
