So far Nader is not tipping almost any state one way or the other in polls (although he looks likely to have a chance in Oregon), except for one large, relatively surprising state. This is from the Portrait of America poll, beloved of some conservatives, which shows Nader with an 11 point support in FLORIDA?! Since the state is now dead even between Gore and Bush, if Nader sustains even part of that support, he could toss the state to Bush.
Any thoughts on why Nader is doing so well in Florida?
