Zogby: Neither Nader nor Rove's 4 Million Fundies are relevant

[geek tragedy]

This is second hand, I know, but if true, very reassuring.

The Christian Conservative Myth
* The 4 million Christian Conservatives (CCs) that Karl Rove obsesses about are a myth. He has done extensive polling and found no evidence that there were large numbers of CCs who chose to stay at home in 2000. As Zogby put it, why would these people choose not to vote knowing that could land Al Gore in the White House? His polling shows these are highly motivated voters.

Nader
* Nader is a spent force and irrelevant to the campaign. He does not take votes from Kerry.
* Voters for Nader would otherwise have not voted at all, so no loss to either side.

4. first off.....

Like it or not Nader in the race DOES take away some votes from Kerry. It's probably very very small but Kerry will lose some vote to him none the less. I think most here would agree with that. As far as the Rove comment, Rove will say and do anything for an advantage.
