But you know, WHATEVER! BARACK WILL BEAT MCPAIN WITHOUT YOU! BRING NADAR ON! HE IS BLOODY DEPRESSING AND BORING, NO ONE WILL CARE AND FEWER WILL GIVE HIM THEIR VOTE!

YES WE WILL, YES WE WILL, YES WE WILL SAY NO TO 100 MORE YEARS!

VOTE OBAMA '08 FOR CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!

A Catalyst to Spread Chaos into the Herd: Enter Naderbot by DeaconJ

Isn't it oddly ironic that the moment it looks like Barack Obama my be the winner suddenly the Nader-bot is
activated.

These globalist elite really know how to manipulate the herd you really gotta give them credit for that!

Would Naderbot be activated if it was a safe Bilary versus Insane (i mean McCain)? No I doubt that seriously.

How about a petition against Nader? by CJC

We need some kind of concerted action against a Nader candidacy.

Among the knee jerk reactions to Nader’s candidacy, there are those who feel Obama is more charismatic than Al Gore and will therefore not have the same problem Gore faced with Nader in the race:

Nader as spoiler? by BobNLA

I don't think it will happen this time.

Gore was not charismatic, did not generate the excitement that Obama does. So you'll have less voters seeking a third party alternative like Nader.

Plus many voters already believe that Nader is a spoiler. For Nader to even consider a third party run now reaffirms that belief. More likely Nader will suffer a backlash from people as a result.

Obama’s star power by davescott

In 2000, Nader appealed to college students and other young people who bought into the outrageously stupid assertion that Gore wasnt that different from Bush. Gore also got typecast as "Wooden Al the Exaggerator. Tee Hee." Young people are not going to oppose Barack Obama in 2008. Nader is not the hip candidate in this election -- Obama is. And if you have to rely on real leftists in a US election, you will not get 1 percent of the vote.
