13. Most Naderites I know WANT a draft because they think such
an extreme act will be necessary to re-engage the non-participating potential voters into the political system.

6. If you're talking $$$ Support
You've no need to look past the RNC, they seem to be his chief source of funding.

If you're talking "bodily" support, just check out the addresses of every major Mental health facility (read Insane Asylums).

These Nader Supporters had the opportunity to fein ignorance in 2000 with that line of horseshit "There's no Difference between Bush & Gore". However, after 4 years of War, Recession, Outsourcing, Looting of the Treasury, Lies, and direct assaults on the Bill of Rights, that old line falls flat.

Even hard core Naderite Michael Moore has recognized that Nader is nothing more than a vote sucker for the Bush Bastard.

It's funny, right after the 2000 Supreme Court Appointment of pResident Bush, I wrote Moore a letter, which basically read "Happy Now Asshole?" He wrote me back trying to defend himself, but even he admitted that he MAY have been mistaken. It appears now, he KNOWS he was mistaken, and even went to the extreme of begging Nader to keep his RNC sponsored ass outta the race this time.

Thankfully it appears most people with an IQ over room temperature have seen through Nader, and won't waste their vote on him.

11. probably within his jockstrap!
There isn't any major support for Nader. It's a combo of repuke funding and some stray fringe voters.

12. Arab-Americans.
They like him because he's ostensibly one of "their own", are inherently conservative, and many can't bring themselves to vote for bushit (ie, they're smarter than half of all native Americans).

14. people who are 18-25 years old LOVE him
they will vote for him in droves (but not in enough numbers for him to get more than a percent or two). His support is strong on college campuses like University of Madison Wis. Geographically he is very popular in the pacific northwest--California, Washington and Oregon they are very environmentally conscious there.

He will definitely have less support than in 2000, but there are still plenty of people who like him.
