Given that he has less than 5% support in every single state, he'd have to win over at least 40-45% of the population of a state to win it.  As far as I can tell, most of those who support him will likely always support him and most of those who don't will likely never support him.

So, in short, no, Nader has absolutely no chance of winning any states.

I don't think there's any possibility of that whatsoever.  Nader has repeatedly said that he will not and knowing how stubborn he's shown himself to be I have a feeling he's going to stick to that.  Even if he'd consider it, I can't imagine Nader liking Kerry enough to do so, anyway.

Hearing Nader talk makes me think there's exactly one reason he's running for President: because he wants to be President.  I can't tell if he honestly is so dense that he doesn't know he has no chance, but given his absolute disdain for both the Democrats and Republicans, and given his seemingly enormous ego, I personally think he believes that it's his God-given right to be President of the United States, so much so that he'd accept help to further his campaign even from a party that he despises.

Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I just have too low an opinion of Nader.  I doubt it, though.

Given that he's started two wars now, yes, I'd say so.
