"if you think nader will ACTUALLY bcome president, is one thing."
i don't think anyone here thinks that. nader will flop, no doubt about it.
but the hope is that if he takes enough % of the popular "simbolic" vote, the gov't subsidizes his party in the next election. i'm not sure how this works since he's running independent, but right now there are only going to be two candidates at any gov't sponsered presidential debate. again, i'm not sure about the exact details.
it's not going to happen, but it's lame to just laugh and ignore the possibility. people don't know who exaclty is. if people take notice this time, maybe his endorsement for a cadidate of a future election will have an impact. it's just all about introducing alternatives. and i think he's a respectabl alternative.
i encourage you not to dimiss it as a fluke.
