    I can't explain "Nadar" (rhymes with "radar"?), but I figured "Nadir" was deliberate, as in "a low point".

    For a second I thought it was a new kind of position sensing system



    Radio based detection and ranging is - Radar

    Light based detection and ranging is - Lidar

    People claim to be able to detect Gay from Straight and call that sense - "Gaydar"



    Maybe there's a corollary determining 2 party doctrine vs 3rd path independent thought

    hence... Nadar



    (if only because Perotdar sounds even worse)

    If the dems can't unite the democratic party effectively or convey the message the 2% that vote for Nader want to hear, they deserve to lose. It's the party's/candidate's job to understand with their potential voters want and address it directly.



    Of course all of this is rendered moot by the stupid electoral system that makes large proportions of the population's votes worthless (to wit: I live in Georgia. My vote for anyone doesn't matter because GWB will get all this state's electoral votes.)

    Nader will reach his nadir on the presidential race this year. Unlike 4 years ago, peoples who will want to get rid of GW Bush will vote Kerry, but not for Nader.

    Nadar dispite his radar will hurt the wall this time ...

    i vote for nader last time around too. for those who think he shouldn't run, it's a pretty piss poor argument.



    he has every right to run and to represent those who find his ideas the most appealing. the worst part of it is it seems to stem from the idea that you just don't want the "other guy" to win.

    I think the argument against Nader running specifically and third parties generally is pretty well-founded. It's a result of our voting system. I would highly recommend reading that Scientific American article that Kickaha alerted us to. It's subscription only- but I can get it off EBSCOhost if you'd like.

    I haven't decided I I'll support Nader or Peter Camejo, but I'm leaning towards Camejo. Nader seems a bit too egotistical. Either way, I'm not voting for Bush or Bush-lite.

    NADAR in Spanish means "to swim"

    You had it the first time when you said that you wouldn't vote if Dean lost . . . just stay home and sulk like a baby and watch George Bush weedle his way back into our collective nightmare!

    You guys are great.

    "Collective nightmare"... classic!







    At least Nader has some principles; some consistent principles.
