A Fading Nader Factor
In a state where he was defamed by Democrats for siphoning votes from Al Gore in the 2000 presidential campaign, Ralph Nader was generally indefatigable in his criticism addressed to President Bush and Senator John F. Kerry, on Thursday reference to the choice of voters as one between heart disease and cancer. ”
It was the last breath of Florida before the November 2 presidential elections for the independent candidate, drew several hundred people in a speech at the University of South Florida here in Pinellas County, the area where he got the most of votes during 2000. But even in this small foundation of his political following, Nader, the outlook is bleak.
“This year, it is difficult for him,” said Mark Kamleiter, St. Petersburg lawyer and longstanding supporters. “You have in him. They are so afraid of Mr. Bush.”
Nader’s loss of support is no accident. Democrats and leftist groups refused to have a right long months and public relations campaign to enable consumers to the ballot paper and another to minimize its impact. While independent researchers of opinion and some Kerry strategists say Nader could still influence a number of countries very closely contested Democratic officials seem less concerned by the fact that it has an influence on the choice of 2004, when they believe he had during the year 2000.
A survey this month to the Democratic National Committee opinion researchers Stanley Greenberg showed Nader averaging 1.5 percent of votes in a dozen countries battlefield, where his name appears on the ballot to vote, compared to about 3 percent in the summer. It also showed that most of the support Nader lost had moved Kerry and said his background would probably elsewhere, men to vote for Bush as for the Massachusetts Democrat, if Nader had not been executed.
Speaking of what became known in the media as “Nader factor,” Leslie roof, a senior consultant at the DNC, said: “It is less clear threat to us, when he has less in 2000, a threat as last summer, it was less than himself a few weeks ago.
Four years ago, Nader received more than 2.8 million votes while the national average, and Democrats charged that his presence on the ballot hands Bush victory in New Hampshire and Florida. If the Republicans have lost either by the States, it would not be President.
