I just turns out that the Nader/Camejo campaign in Ohio is the best organized in the nation: " "Ralph Nader's Ohio supporters on Wednesday turned in petitions with 14,473 signatures to Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, nearly three times the 5,000 signatures needed to get Nader on the state's Nov. 2 presidential ballot as an independent" (emphasis added, "Signatures Exceed Count Needed for Ohio Ballot," Indianapolis Star, August 19, 2004).
It helped that the Democratic Party is truly feeble in Ohio, unable to sabotage us!
According to the latest Gallup survey of voters in Ohio, among the registered voters, Nader gets 5%, and among the likely voters, he gets 4% (David W. Moore, "Close Presidential Race in Ohio: Kerry 48%, Bush 46% among Likely Voters," Gallup.com, August 19, 2004).
Yea! Go Bucks!

It is said that MoveOn has 2.5 million "members" (e.g., <http://www.alternet.org/election04/19659/>), but that means only that it has 2.5 million email addresses, and it doesn't mean that 2.5 million will act as MoveOn directs them. Besides, that's a far smaller contingent than 3% of likely voters and 5% of registered voters in the nation who say they support Nader/Camejo: <http://www.usatoday.com/news/polls/tables/live/2004-08-23-florida-poll.htm>. It is safe to say that Nader/Camejo supporters nationwide, not counting non-citizens, number six millions or more this year (calculated conservatively based on the 2000 data of registered voters <http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2002/cb02-31.html>). Leftists ought to take more interest in organizing six-million Nader/Camejo supporters than 2.5-million subscribers to MoveOn's mailing list. The former are a larger group to the left of the latter.
