Have we all forgotten poor Mr. Nader? Do we even know he exists or is he the invisible man to us all? 
Enough said.

Who? 
Meh, he knew what he was getting into when he did this. It should be no big surprise to anyone.

Ralph Nader is rocks my socks! If it weren't a waste, and I were American, I'd probably vote him, lol.

Really weird. I thought it was different in America; the elections. But it's not. Over here in Holland it's arranged that every party gets equal time for example on tv to promote their own party.
But over there.. It's like the world only knew Kerry & Bush. Which is true, because I only found out about Nader when the results of the elections were shown on tv. Nader got 1% of all the votes, right? He's too left for America I think.  Over here, he would've got many support!

Yes, he is too far left for America. And there is a mandate that you allow all candidates equal time ("Equal-time" rule by the FCC), but the candidates may not either have enough money, or wish to use the time. For example, where I live, I got tons of advertisement for Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarick. (Do not ask me why. ) More than I got for Bush or Kerry. It was incredibly amusing, as I live in a largely liberal area, and I somehow think Nader would get more support and have use for advertisement here. I didn't see a single Nader add. I think Nader needs to run for the house of representatives in my district. I think he'd win, and it would be so entertaining.

If Nader hadn't run, the people voting for him probably would've voted for Kerry, which might've given him the support he needed to win. So, yeah...Eeeeevil Nader.
