>Nader cost himself federal funds by alienating voters in safe states.
So the Nader plan all along was to elect Gore? Why should that be axiomatic? You still believe that left/progressive (or whatever you wish to call them) votes belong to Gore, and by extension the Dems, and any deviation from this is cause for calumny and hissing. Those students have gotten only a whiff of real, not academic, politics. If they can't hack it, they should stay in academia.
I love the idea that Nader's campaign is somehow property of the Dems, and therefore must behave correctly. And now, like Saddam Hussein, he must face his punishment.
