Maybe; but you do hope and pray that he does gather a pile of votes---don't you, ya blooterhead!

Well, with electronic voting anything could happen...

They make money out of thin air by pressing a computer key. They can do the same thing with votes.

If that were the headlines in all the newspapers on November 3rd, I'd be just fine with it.

Here's a quote from Nader from the Oct 18 issue of The Nation about what he calls "the most amazing unconditional surrender by the left in decades":

"They (the left, especially those who supported his candidacy in 2000) made no demands. They forgot the wisdom of Frederick Douglass, who taught us that power concedes nothing without a demand. If the left does not exert pressure on Kerry, the only pull he is going to feel will be from corporate interests. If the left does not make Kerry better, he gets worse. He moves to the right. And when Kerry moves to the right, his poll numbers go down. So, you see, when liberals back Kerry without asking anything of him, they don't do him any favors. That's why he's losing what should have been an easy race."

Nader is like a dog chasing a car. If he actually caught it, he wouldn't know what in the hell to do with it.

Typical Mudcat response: attack the person rather than discuss the message.

Now that would be an interesting scenario, wouldn't it? A bunch of genius tech-weenies decide that they want Nader as president, and they override the Bush machine's fix on the voting machines and get Nader elected. And if the rumour that exit polls are being outlawed is true, and with the voting machines' inability to provide a paper trail, The Bush and Kerry people would never be able to prove that Nader wasn't elected fair and square.

TECH-WEENIES RULE!!!!!
