AggieDave 6 #4 November 12, 2004 If we wanted a true 3rd party with a chance, Libertarian would be a more likely choice. I really wish the LIbertarian party would get a louder voice, I think it would drive the Dems/GOP into better politics.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Jib 0 #5 November 12, 2004 Nah, it would just steal from one party and allow more presidents without close to a majority of votes. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

kelpdiver 2 #6 November 12, 2004 If Ross Perot hadn't turned out to be crazy, he might have made a pretty big dent in the '92 election. He couldn't be coopted by the parties because he didn't actually have a platform other than being a honest to god outsider, unlike the type that claim to be ones (Clinton, Shrub). But then the Cubans sabotaged his campaign and we're back to having the token Buchanan types on the fringe of the ballot. Nader's legacy in presidential politics will be giving a close election to Bush, nothing more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some theorists believe he cost GHWB the election. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #8 November 12, 2004 he's not doing it for himself. he's doing it because Kerry can't, because he conceded because he didn't want to drag the US through another court battle. If Nader does it, nobody will really care until the results are in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some theorists believe he cost GHWB the election. Post election polling indicates he stole pretty evenly from the disatisified members of each major party. That so many people picked him after his crazy blowups, and his leaving the race and returning indicates shows that he was really a vote for None of the Above. Perot paid a fortune for each of those votes. Bush lost with "It's the Economy, Stupid." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
