Did Nader Lose It For Kerry?

Ok, so this is mostly for Darth Ninja…

For all you Nader haters out there, I broke down this election in terms of numbers. I added in all of Nader, Badnarik, Peltier, and Cobb’s votes to Kerry and all of Peroutka’s to Bush to see if it would have changed a goddamn thing.

And it didn’t. 3rd parties had zero impact on this election. And that is unacceptable, in my book. I wish we could be blamed for losing the election or winning it. But we can’t.

All of this data is from CNN.com. No poll I could found carried write in candidates.
