Reply #6: I don't see the great relevance [View All]

to any modern concern, but this is a statement of fact. And they're not talking about high school or college stadiums either, as the previous poster suggested. I don't remember the exact figures, but Nader did rallies all across the US, which were drawing much larger crowds than Bush or Gore were. In particular, the one I remember hearing about was a super rally at Madison Square Garden, where Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Patti Smith, and a bunch of others performed. Not surprisingly, given the many artists performing, they were able to draw a decent sized crowd (I don't know about filling up). But again, I don't see the relevance. Nader clearly didn't have a wide base of support, apart from the truly committed who showed up at these rallies. This is certainly reflected in his vote tally. If you want to check, type Madison Square Garden, Eddie Vedder, and Ralph Nader into google. Should give you something.
