Those in Florida, perhaps ... but most Nader voters were either in states that went to Gore or wouldn't have gone to Gore no matter what.

As for Bernie supporters, I think most are already on board. It strikes me as strange to compare Bernie/Bernie supporters to someone who ran against the democrats four cycles ago.
