Most Nader supporters I know did not get 'exactly what [they] wanted'. They wanted Nader to garner enough votes to get federal funds for the Greens. They expected Gore to win regardless of their vote. Please keep in mind that Gore did actually win the election. Due to circumstance well beyond Naders control Bush was APPOINTED President. I don't personally know any Nader supporters who "got exactly what [they] wanted'. How many of you know of Nader supporters claiming the outcome of the election is 'exactly what [they] wanted'?
