I apologize if I misunderstood what you were asking, Ron. I thought you were asking me to provide poll numbers for Nader from 2003 and 2007.

I responded saying that Nader wasn't running, so wasn't included in the polling--and was referring to 2007. Nader declared his candidacy in Feb (I think) 2008. It was after Super Tuesday, as I recall.

Does that make better sense to you? You were apparently referring to 2003, I was referring to 2007.

In 2000, Nader was kept out of the debates because, it was claimed by the MSM, he didn't reach the threshold in polling of 5%.

He does now, and hasn't received any attention from the MSM.

If his poll numbers drop, the "evidence" that he was ever over 5% will disappear, and they will claim once again that Nader can't participate because he doesn't meet their "threshold".

I believe Nader, Barr, McKinney and Paul all deserve a seat at the debate table as influential Americans with a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge, and judgment to contribute to informed political debate--and it is crucial at this juncture in our history that we have these debates that are inclusive, rather than exclusive.

Exclusive government is the Bush/Clinton/Bush model that will be followed this year unless we raise holy hell to be sure the people we want to see included in the televised debates, get included.

Peace--I'm also smart enough not to get sucked into my adversaries' silly challenges, so don't hold your breath waiting for me to respond to the ONE thing business.
