Do you know ANYONE voting for Nader?
I honestly can't understand how anyone could be so stupid to vote for him at this point, after all we know now.

1. Probably John McCain.
He just asked a Federal Judge to place Nader's name on the ballot.

2. Nobody - not one single person!!!
I knew 5 in 2000 - all are now for Kerry. Nader is a red herring they are throwing at us to excuse election theft.

4. I have a friend who was considering it
Oddly enough, she voted for Kerry in the Primary and I voted for Dean.

I don't think she's thought it through, but I'm working on her.

5. Possibly
I know one idjit who's not going to vote for Bush or Kerry. I suspect she might vote for Nader.

6. No one I know would ever admit it to me, if they were....
so it is hard to tell. Vehement Naderites are not exactly popular among Dems, so I don't know if anecdotal reports are very revealing.

8. My Dad, a REPUBLICAN is voting for Nader...
I've tried to convince him of Kerry, but he just won't do it. He hates the shrub, so he figures voting for Nader is a "none of the above" vote...

19. Oh yea.....he's workable then....
He's just josh'en with you. He won't vote Nader. Keep sharing the Kerry talking points. Sounds like he enjoys the engaged discussion.

18. well, if your dad's a Republican
and he's voting for Nader, then that's a vote for Kerry. I think that is how the logic usually goes.

9. Yes
Her words were - "Kerry is Republican-lite" and when I told her too much was at stake she said she "didn't care". Makes sense.

Babar is speaking at the University of Iowa tonight at 8:00pm if anyone wants to go give him hell. It is my sons birthday or I would be down there reaming him a new one!

13. Yes, a republican from Texas who hates Dubya passionately.
He won't vote for Kerry, but can't vote for Bush either.

14. No one
Last time around, I had to do some serious campaigning for Gore with my older son, who decided to vote for Nader. He came around an ended up supporting Gore.

This time he's volunteered for Kerry.

I do have one friend who is pretty disheartened but will push the button for Kerry. Says if Bush wins, this will be the last time he will ever vote.

16. Yeah, that's another reason to ignore polls
I saw one that said Nader was getting 2% of the vote and I just don't believe it.

22. A guy who showed up
for our "Bush Family Fortunes" showing last Sunday. I didn't know him, just met him in passing.

Actually wearing a Nader 2004 shirt.

In Dallas? I'm surprised he hasn't had the shit beaten out of him by both sides.

I didn't say anything to him because I knew I wouldn't be able to calmly.
