Nader (or anyone like him) is not going to create a third party, nor even personally contribute to such a party. But Nader's _voters_ are at the heart of any hope for a third party in the u.s.

Look at this way. Suppose Nader (plus any Green candidate) get a total of 1 million votes. Divide that by 4 (assuming 3 out of 4 voters are just that, merely voters, who only come into existence every 4 years).

That would mean that there are 250,000 potential left organizers in the u.s.!!!!!

Fantastic!
