note hardburn <p><em>Nader says that he gets just as many votes from Republicans as from Democrats.</em></p> <p>Nader is full of crap. Exit polls showed pretty close to zero republicans voting for him. Further, as a third-party candidate, he is no more satisfying than the candidates from the two big parties.</p> <p>In any case, my statement was meant as a joke (though I probably didn't make it obvious enough, which is my fault). As I said before, looking at the poll data, Nader and all other third-party candidates combined did not play a significant role, even in swing states.</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
