Can you simply not admit that, among those 2.8 million, at least some fraction of them went for Nader because he was Ralph Nader and not Al Gore or George Bush?

Partisan Democrats may be loathe to admit the fact, but Al Gore STUNK as a candidate and STINKS as a human being (else why would he have hired Naomi Wolf as an image consultant). I can easily believe that leftists who were (rightly) disgusted at Gore's lack of integrity may have been attracted to Nader for Nader's integrity.

And among those surveys showing "buyer's remorse" among some Green Party voters: Well, hindsight is always 20-20, and now far leftists who went with Nader are regretting their choice.  Let's play our tiny violins for them...

Not to mention: Virtually all post-election exit polls show major changes from the November vote tally. Usually, more people say they voted for the winning candidate than what actually occurred. In this case, far leftists are deflecting blame for Gore's defeat by bleating that "If only Nader weren't on the ballot...blah...blah..."

Human beings naturally search for a scapegoat for their guilt. In this case, an elderly Lebanese Socialist is their pick.

As inaccurate as this is, my best friend in college told me, point-blank, that he would not have voted if Nader weren't on the ballot.

1-This is entirely likely.  I can't remember the exact numbers but probably about a quarter of Nader voters said they wouldn't have voted.

of course I can admit that some Nader voters would not have voted.

however it was contended that ALL of Nader voters would not have voted...which is ludicrous.
