2. No need for that poll.
Gore would get about 99%.

5. I wouldn't vote for any of them.
There are no acceptable options there for me.

10. Of the people on the list, there are no acceptable options.
I wouldn't vote for any of them. I didn't say John was the only one.

8. I know Biden is the runaway favorite to win the nomination.
Hence the 'far-fetched' in the title. ;)

14. It's sad that Ron Paul gets *any* votes.
And demonstrative of a very short memory that Nader would.

17. I'm guessing it will run along the lines of:
"He's anti-war, and I did not bother finding out anything else about him."

18. Interesting, Obama wins on DU if he's the only Dem
Not feeling very confident about Obama's chances, are you?

19. This is a general election scenario.
I doubt that Clinton or Edwards would run as a third party.

27. the votes for nader are deeply disappointing

considering that his 97,000 votes in florida would have made up the difference in an election that was decided by about 500 votes.

think about it. if it weren't for nader, al gore would have been the president on 9/11.

33. He's not a Republican. Never really was, except to run for mayor--lifelong Dem before that.

35. But he did run as a Republican.
He's still very much a corporatist, so I'm curious why an Edwards supporter would favor him.

He smacked the Republicans good when he switched.

30. Sorry, no one there I could comfortably vote for.
Since the idea was "far-fetched" any reason why Al Gore wasn't in the mix?

38. At DU, Obama would get a net 61% of the vote
over Rudy.
