66. well not exactly
It is intellectually dishonest to blame Nader alone for 2000.
He played a role among many factors.
But when I see numbers here that 600000 Dems voted for Bush and add to that the partisan Supreme Court and the fact that Gore won both the popular vote and electoral college, then Nader had by far not the greatest impact.
He might have played a role in some states, that is true, but making it appear as if he alone is responsible is as wrong as saying he played no role at all.
