Nader cannot give this electon to Bush, no one can, the American people want a change.

SF - You have mentioned in other posts that you believe that you are in touch with mainstream America. Let me regurgitate my 41 years of mainstream for you.
Nader will not hurt GB, but he will hinder Kerry. Maybe enough to disrail his train. I believe that even fewer people will vote for Nader because of the job issue. Unemployed people don't vote for people that they believe will shut down industry and create more unemployed people. Jobs are tight right now.
Remember that just because you are 18 in America and CAN vote, does not mean you WILL vote. We have a large amount of people that will speak their mind, but will not vote their mind.
Kerry is not a Kennedy when only a Kennedy could beat GB.
People with family and friends in the military will remember that the military is treated better under republican leadership. (And that Clinton was NOT good for the military)
While there are alot of people that have true feelings for the values of Nader. They won't vote for him because they know that America is not ready for his agenda.
My current numbers: Bush 55%, Kerry 42 , Nader 3%.
After BL is captured and the economy continues to improve over the next 6 months: Bush 65%, Kerry 32, Nader 3%.
A little rant to end the post.
People may not agree with all the decisions that GB has made. Anyone who has taken on an undertaken with bad odds of success know that even the best laid plans can fail or not bring the intended results. Talk about a HUGE undertaking. Look what Bush was handed. Now look at what would happen if someone cane and changed it in mid-stream. What a cluster-fuck that would be.
Just my opinion.
