So Kerry is beating Bush (Washington Post-ABC News poll) but here's a little something we all need to think about...
"In a bit of good news for Bush, Nader is drawing essentially all of his support from Kerry, who leads Bush by 9 percentage points in a two-way matchup with the president -- an indication Nader could play the spoiler for Democrats in 2004 as he did four years ago. Underscoring that potential, nearly two-thirds of Democrats opposed Nader's decision to run, while nearly half of all Republicans supported his move.
of course the republicans supported the move. votes for nader, votes for Bush.
i hope he drops out. seriously.
