Actually, I think the letter is awful. It isn't really even comprehensible in a meaningful, cohesive way, is it? Yet, the rest of the website writing seems pretty good. I think the campaign manager needs to not let Ralph write and upload without an editor seeing it first! Ah well, that's a grassroots campaign for ya.

But that said, I don't think Nader has changed his mind about his influence in the 2000 election. I think he is simply trying to address the concern (I would say obsession) he knows liberal Democrats have about his candidacy undermining their guy. If I were a Democrat, I'd be much more concerned about the Washington Post article today about Kerry's campaign strategy, and the fact that Kerry hasn't fired up the base, but seems to have alienated a good chunk of it.

There just aren't too many Democrats I'm talking to that are raving about how excited and fired up they are with the Kerry candidacy. To rewrite the old Mondale saying--John Kerry is no JFK.
