Democrat’s Nightmare is Nader, not Bush

Two weeks before the elections, Nader constitutes a great threat to Democrats in nine states where Republican President George W. Bush and his rival, Senator John F. Kerry, are neck to neck in the race. There is concern that Nader is receiving most of his votes from Democrat members and will waylay the Senator.

According to the New York Times yesterday, Democrat Al Gore lost to Bush in 2000 because of the votes that Nader received.

Administered by billionaire, Ross Perot, The Reform Party’s candidate, Nader, had 97,488 votes in Florida where Gore lost to Bush by 537 votes. Democrats are making effort to ensure that the same thing not happen again. They have resorted to court action against the Reform Party asking that they not be allowed to participate in the election on the grounds that the Party has no national political structure. However, the Florida Federal Court overruled the application. Nader will join the elections in 30 states nationwide.

According to public polls, Nader is expected to win four percent of the votes in Iowa against Bush with 46.6 percent and Kerry with 47.5 percent. In Minnesota, while Bush and Kerry have 45.5 percent each, Nader has 2.7 percent. In Ohio, where Bush and Kerry are neck to neck, Nader is expected to win one percent of the total vote cast.

The Reform Party candidate won 2.7 percent of the votes in the 2000 elections.

Meanwhile, it is observed that Kerry is increasing his dosage of anti-Iraq war statements in order to steal Nader’s young voters.
