To all the Nader people out there, this fresh off the WaPost Chat.

Mt. Lebanon, Pa.: Thanks for running for the Presidency. I supported your campaign to the point of sending you some bucks several times. You made me rediscover politics after having last voted in Carter v. Reagan.

Are you going to build any bridges to Ralph Nader's campaign? You're both progressives. You're both inspiring leaders. You're both men of substance. Isn't this a natural link?

Ultimately, the Democrats will win or lose without you and Nader. So why should both of you put your ideas and inspirations on hold or abandon them altogether (the Democrat mantra) why they play out the current rendition of beef or pork (Democrat or Republican)? Some of us just want a bigger variety in our political spectrum and our visionary diets.

By the way, I've moved with my wallet over to Ralph. Give him my regards.

Thanks much.

Howard Dean: There is a big difference between George Bush and John Kerry - a million and half Americans with no health insurance, 100s dead in Iraq with no explanation why, environmental damage and physical damage for pregnant women and children who eat fish. These are just a few legacies on the Bush administration. Dean and Nader voters hold the balance.

A vote for Nader is essentially a vote for George Bush which is exactly why I am supporting John Kerry.

I couldn't have put it better myself.
