Why would I care what Nader says? He'll take votes away from the Dem
candidate, not the Rep candidate.

As much as I think you are right -- Obama is likely to win -- I do not think
he will win by the landslide you suggest.

Indeed, I see a repeat of both 2000 and 2004 where it can come down to
several precincts in a state. Brace yourself.

And you really think we'll miss those dozen votes, do you? You keep
praying, rightard, and we'll keep laughing.

Nader himself is a f.cking loon, loon. Nobody gives a skinny rat's a.s
what he says.

Besides, since when did you rightards ever believe a word he said?

The fact is Obama will beat George W. McCain in a LANDSLIDE. But I
suppose when stupid rightard fantasies are all you have, stupid rightard
fantasies are all you have.

Enjoy, rightard!

Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own
Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments

ABSTRACT:
...the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile
on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test
performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the
12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd.

The Nadar run will mean nothing. And I've worked for his campaign in the past. You know that Bush Derangement thing? Guess what? > Some of the best news for McCain has happened this week.

Some of the best news for McCain has happened this week. The New York Times totally screwed up in their liberal rhetoric and then Nader announced he would run. Democrats should convince Paul to run on a 3rd party ticket.
