[b]Really, without Nader Gore would have easily been president [/b](which is why Rove and the GOP helped Nader).  
I blame Nader.  
And I think everyone under 45 or so I've talked to feels similar.  The people who remember his consumer protection stuff are people like me - older now.[/quote]

Can't prove this because you assume a vote for Nader is a vote taken away from Gore. That's not necessarily the case. A vote for Nader is a vote for Nader, nothing more.[/quote]

Basically you're saying something silly --  that nothing is knowable except the things you touch.

Come on, man.
We have this thing called probability, and another thing called data science.  I'm not going to explain to you how probability works, but if you like, I can recommend a good text or two.

Here's the bottom line:
[b]Nader elected Bush.  Without Nader, Gore would have won.[/b]

[b]I'd go further and say Nader bears responsibility for the thousands of American kids that got killed in Iraq, and Cheney and Erik Prince looting the American taxpayer, but I think the statement above is enough[/b].[/quote]

Now [i]you're[/i] being silly.[/quote]
