Brad,

Nader would have gotten more votes if those intending to vote for him had been "freed" to do so by the Democratic party liberals who have been guilt tripping every Dem who wanted to vote Nader for weeks. For instance in CA Nader was up to 7-8 percent in the polls but when people actually voted the support dropped to 4 percent. I think people who where coerced into voting for Gore made a big mistake by caving -- they cost the Greens the loss of federal funds. -- Marta
