horserace poll

[Doug Henwood]

I got curious about the demographics of Nader's support, so I just 
got this from Gallup. Note that there's no gender pattern to Nader's 
support (or Buchanan's, for that matter); Katha Pollitt's been 
quoting David Brooks's remark that Nader is the candidate of the 
"white male left," which isn't borne out by these numbers. - Doug
