I agree with Rattle. Nader is a football for all sides. Republicans are openly supporting him because they want him to take votes from the left. They've pumped him up but they aren't actually going to vote for him. You'd think NRO would be above that kind of transparent behavior. And Nader is down for it because he wants a pulpit. I disagree with the lawsuits against putting him on the ballot. If he can't get 1000 signatures then why be concerned with the number of votes he'll get? If the number of votes he'll get is a threat, then he ought to be on the ballot!

Yes, it is. Cancelling my vote out by having a dead person vote against me is just as disenfranchising as not letting me vote at all.
