By the way, several people who've studied the matter closely tell me there's no Nader organization anywhere in the U.S. There are some freelancers, and of course there's Counterpunch and the ISO, but there's no real organization. What kind of politics is that?

Ralph Nader shouldn't build any "Nader organization" out of the Nader/Camejo campaign and instead should let Peter Camejo lead new activists into the Green Party and get Greens on the left organized into a caucus -- which, btw, is exactly what Camejo is doing now.
One per cent of the population are ornery cusses who will vote for a third party candidate just to be contrary. That's the bedrock of third party support.

One percent of the US population is roughly 3 million individuals, and excluding the too young, too old, and too infirm, we have about 1.5 million individuals who agree with Nader/Camejo's program <http://votenader.org/issues/index_home.php>. 1.5 million is nothing to shout home about in electoral politics, but that's a great point of departure for non-electoral politics. That's why leftists should prioritize non-electoral actions over voting. -- Yoshie
