48. How does voting for Nader accomplish anything?
Tell me what this kind of top-down, non grass-roots candidacy that has absolutely NO chance of succeeding accomplishes?

Why doesn't Nader work to build a third party from the ground up, building popular support along the way and accomplishing real goals? I'll tell you why: because he wouldn't have people talking about him as much doing that, he wouldn't have as much money (particularly from his Republican donors) and he and Tim Russert wouldn't be able to blow each other every four years.
