Nader's fault, endlessly

[frank scott]

"Did it ever occur to anyone that recognizing the tepid quality of
Gore's
campaign doesn't entail excusing Nader for costing him the presidency?"

is this evidence that breast feeding must stop before people reach their
thirties?...oh well, try this:

from The Hightower Lowdown for  December, 2000, concerning the results
from Florida.
"Among seniors, Gore lost the over-65 vote by 51% to 47%, a difference
of
67,000 votes.  Had Gore merely broken even with Bush, he'd have won
Florida
with no question.

Among white women, Gore lost 53% - 44% among a group that normally
splits
evenly or votes Democrat.  Had he broken even here, Gore would have
added
65,000 votes to his total.

Among Democrats, Bush cherry-picked 308,000.  This swamps Nader's
24,000.
One percent of these would be enough to put Gore over the top.

Among self-described liberals, Bush got 191,000 votes (compared to
Nader's
34,000).  Need I say more?

The fault lay with Gore.  He could not get traditional Democratic
constituencies in Florida to vote for him over Bush."

next?
