Do you read Salon? They have a great commentary (http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/02/21/nader/index.html") this weekend about how many Dems are furious with him. Scariest quote:
Most of the left's anger against Nader stems from the historically close 2000 election. There were, as defensive Nader supporters like to point out, a number of reasons that Gore lost to Bush, including his own flawed campaign, the Florida voting debacle and the intervention of five Supreme Court justices, but it is incontestable that if Nader had not run, Al Gore would be president today. Insisting there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between Bush and Gore and campaigning in crucial swing states, Nader cost Democrats the White House. In Florida, for instance, where the vote recount was halted by the Supreme Court, Bush edged Gore by just 537 votes. Nader, running as the Green Party candidate, garnered nearly 100,000 votes in the Sunshine State.
