A note I got tonight from a friend and bona-fide Gore insider …
We took Nader too lightly in 00. We didn’t challenge him. We didn’t point out his sizable personal fortune, his complete lack of assistance on any environmental cause for decades, his sources of funding. Oh progressives do not make this mistake twice in your lifetime or Nader’s.
Hear, hear.
I’m not certain I agree on this, though I certainly do at the level of sentiment. I still suspect that Nader will be such a relatively minor factor this fall that he’s better left ignored. But who knows?
