Me too, with one qualification: Nader's political action (on auto safety)  
is by this point responsible for tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of
people continuing to reside on the planet who would otherwise be dead or
maimed. That's an achievement which very few can match, and gives him a
basic level of credibility among the big public that's hard to compete
with. Someone said criticizing that Nader was like criticizing Mother
Teresa.  That's why.
