Nader Says Kerry Will Be Better if Nudged

WASHINGTON (AP) - Independent presidential hopeful Ralph Nader thinks
Democrat John Kerry would be a better candidate and pick up more votes
if ``he's jogged, nudged and challenged,'' by third-party candidates
like himself.
``But if he doesn't, we'll be happy to pick up those votes,'' Nader said
told CNN's ``Late Edition'' on Sunday, pledging to stay in the
presidential race until the Nov. 2 election.
Democrats blame Nader, the Green Party candidate in 2000, for Al Gore's
narrow loss to Republican George W. Bush, arguing that the then-vice
president would have benefited from the thousands of votes that instead
went to Nader.
Nader blames Gore and notes, among other things, Gore's loss in his home
state of Tennessee.
``He slipped on 18 banana peels. Maybe the Green Party was one,'' Nader
said.
Can't argue with that. Gore's campaign was a model of democrat
cowardice. He never attacked bush even though he had the bush AWOL
scandal and the bush DUI and the fact that bush's wife laura once
killed a guy by her witnessed reckless driving. And yet she avoided
any prosecution.
Gore is what's wrong with the democrats. They won't fight.
