(Re: Nader's claim that he was not responsible for Bush because exit polls had 38% of his voters would have voted for Gore and 25% of his voters would have voted for Bush (the rest would have stayed home), in a race decided by 536 votes).

Uhm ... Ralph ... (.38 X 97,00) - (.25 X 97,000) > 536

Do the damned math!

And, others ... can we NOT have to re-learn the lesson?

Thankfully, we have a different cast of characters. And, the cast member vying for the role of Gore, though many think he would play a fine Nader, has already indicated that he will not play the (de-supporting) role.
