In reply to the discussion: Re: the recent spate of "will you vote if_____?" - aka "loyalty" threads. [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)21. Many more Florida Dems voted for Bush
than voted for Nader, which for me completely invalidates the Nader argument.
I've always regretted that Nader wasn't in any way concerned about his candidacy negatively impacting Democrats, I think he was wrong on that issue.
But the Florida Bush Democrats were the real story of that debacle, along with the shenanigans by Jeb, Katherine Harris, John Bolton, and the SCOTUS. Nader was a sideshow.

We dealt with that in #54-#55. But thanks again and again for the repetition. nm

No, 32 is still blaming it on Nader, and 14 still restricts all your analysis to FL.

The Gore Campaign did INDEED calculate that they wouldn't need the Nader voters.
