So, do we have a poll up on do we think he'll run? I say, "yes."-- not to my question but to the poll question.

[Michael Z]

He'll probably run. His Jupiter-sized ego won't allow him not to.

[TheWildCard]

I heard a report just now saying he's going to run as an independent(not as a green). I'm not sure how true this is because I haven't found anything on the internet about it yet.

Its true. He announced it back in December I believe.

Well that adds a whole new dynamic then... Go Ralph, Go!

If he pulls four percent then it matters big time.

There is no way Nader polls 4%, he only polled 2.74% with the greens before he was blamed for the gore loss.  Now, he will have to obtain the ballot status by himself, and fights the unpopularity.  No way he gets 4%.

In the hard lefts eyes Kerry or Edwards is worse then Gore.

No, they're the same.  No way Nader takes over 2%.

Not the same and I say four percent.

Not the same and I say four percent.

I say not even half of that.

[Michael Z]

Nader will attract 2% at most. In 2000 he gained a big protest vote from fringe Democrats who this year will be ABB.

That's if they see a difference between the two.

They hate Bush much more than they will ever hate Kerry or Edwards. They're just as worried about him as the Reps are of them...

The big idea of Nader and those who follow him is that there is no difference between the parties.

That was pre-Bush. He's a divisive president.

Indeed. Left-wingers view him the way conservatives see Hillary.

Ditto!  I think there were a lot of Nader voters in 2000 that assumed Gore would be the winner, and therefore it was safe to flirt with the Greens.  This time, their vote of protest will be to get Bush out.

[zachman]

Based on the polls, I was not confident Gore would win. It seemed likely that Bush would win.

[jravnsbo]

Wait till Nader attacks Kerry ont he environment and the comments by Hoffa of the Teamsters that Kerry pklanned on drilling all over the US.

[GOPman]

Nader will run, and will drain about 2-5% from the dem nominee. Don't forget, the core Nader voters are just that, "CORE", and will vote for him no matter what. In WA and MN he may draw as much as 5%. I think the most he got in any state in 2000 was just under 6%.
