Nader certainly doesn't expect or even hope to win, nor do any of his supporters--what he hopes is to get enough votes to get federal campaign money for the Green Party in the next presidential election--and to jolt the Democrats into recognizing that in too many ways they have abandoned their constituency in a quest for the middle of the road and especially for campaign contributions. I agree that he would be a disaster as president, not because of his abilities or character or lack thereof, but because he would lack any congressional support.
