ok dems, some advice on nader...

[WalterMitty]

please, PLEASE, stop whining and bellyaching over a piss ant like ralph nader.  kerry is taking on an incumbent president, yet you all are whining over nader 'taking your votes, blah blah blah'.  it is making kerry look weak.  furthermore, you are just giving nader free attention.

you have two choices, as i see it:

1.  IGNORE HIM.  this is probably the best option.  nader isnt going to raise a lot of money, nor his he going to get on the ballot in all 50 states.  stop giving him attention.  without the dem's constant whining, most americans wouldnt even know nader is running.

2.  if you refuse to take option number 1, then you should engage nader.  question him and beliefs.  play hardball with him.  heck, you should even try to get him into the debate with bush and kerry.  the bush campaign is trying their hardest to paint kerry as a liberal, but compared to nader, kerry would come across as more of a moderate.

whatever yall do, you cant keep complaining about nader.  it is getting really annoying and is distracting the kerry campaign (which isnt running smooth to begin with).

let them fight with Nader it will help us

Nader is losing attention unless he creates it. Ignore him and live and let die.

If he's on the ballot in WV he actually increases Kerry's chance of carrying it

You probably are right for polulist/ social conservative states like West Virginia, Ohio and Tennessee.
