In a few more minutes.
Anyway,
Nader actually impressed me a bit. I couldn't vote for him, but I do like that the guy agreed on those 4 points.
the political reality of this event is, that the emboldened speech there is basically what the american people are going to take away from this event.
that will be seen as the significance, and that is really unfortunate.
we need the C4L and the LP to both drop their egos here and find some compromise to get everyone on the same page. this is playing out very badly.
the true end result of this move right now, the way it is playing out, is likely to cause the 3rd party vote to play out to where nader gets 5 or so percent, the LP, CP,and Greens under 1%, at a time when we had a libertarian candidate polling at 6 percent to 11 percent depending on the state.
this is a major error, we really need to see something change here, or Nader will swoop in, take the lions share of the disgruntled vote, possibly mess up obama's chances to win the election, cause another 4 years of mccain, and get third party politics blamed for neoconservatism once again.
