2. LOL

I doubt it, but who knows, maybe his ego would cause him to accept.

4. I can't in good conscience vote for Bush

But I would not vote for a presidential candidate if Nader was VP. I really do not like Nader's views on the enviroment. In fact, the unions support drilling in ANWR. How many jobs would that bring to America? It sure would help on foreign oil dependence.

Be nice when you all kill me now. It is just my opinion

9. No flames from me, just the observation

that all the oil in ANWR wouldn't fuel the US for very long. I forget the exact figure -- wasn't it, only a few days?

Kerry, unlike Bush, is looking for long-term solutions to these problems that will reduce dependence on foreign oil, create jobs, and make us more secure.

3. It would win my support

I really want to get rid of that shrub but I'm still pretty lukewarm about Kerry. A VP or an other cabinet position for either Nader or Kucinich would really warm my heart...

5. I'd still vote for Kerry if he did

but I'd have to hold my nose. Ralph Nader is a reprehensible little turd. Fortunately, this scenario is so ridiculously unlikely its hardly worth worrying about.

I am also only lukewarm about Kerry. Do not trust the fact that he will do anything about the foreign job hemmorage.
Unhappy with Kerry because his health care for all is a bandaid and will not work..
TO put Nader in a high office would convince me that Kerry is for real on one of these issues at least.
Also, those critical of Nader's role in a Kerry Administration..You want to get that 6% of the electorate that favor Nader or not?
But don't worry, that will never happen.

11. No, Kerry accepts corporate campaign contributions

that's against Nader's belief system.
