Kerry Woos Nader... (New York Times, free registration required)

Will someone PLEASE reassure me that Kerry isn't going to pick Nader as his running mate. As much as I hate Bush's government, I can't say I'm much more thrilled with the idea of Nader becoming president in the event that something happens to Kerry.

Yes, I plan to vote for Kerry anyway.

no chance whatsoever, i'd say. it's just gonna go the usual (boring) way; he's gonna pick somebody the dems consider solid, somebody southern probably. and his meeting with nader seemed to be designed to underline common ground. a nader who likes the democratic candidate (but not the republican one) is a much better nader to have run against one.

me, i'd prefer to see nader as president than bush, by a large margin. nader wouldn't be a danger to everything i hold dear, no matter what faults he might have. i don't actually quite understand the antipathy. nader doesn't scare me. pseudo-democrats like lieberman, those are people i very seriously hope don't become president.

I'd prefer that too, but I'm really uncomfortable with Nader, although I'm not sure I can put the reasons into words at the moment.

My words for my discomfort with him run like this:

1) No experience in government.

2) Anti-Jewish sentiments.

3) Tendency to gross arrogance and ignorance.
