Nader's Influence On November 2nd

 Spoiler

A Lansing-based EPIC-MRA poll concluded that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would perform better against Republican John McCain among Michigan voters than Democrat Hillary Clinton. In the poll, taken April 4-9, 2008, presidential candidate Ralph Nader received 10 percent of the vote in the hypothetical McCain-Clinton election. McCain received 46 percent of the vote to Clinton's 37. In the McCain-Obama situation, conversely, Nader received 8 percent, while Obama led McCain 43 to 41 percent, leaving the Obama victory unaffected.

Yay Lansing! That is where I was born and still live (To any potential stalkers out there, move along. You won't want to stalk me ). Now that I got that out of my system, on to the topic.

It is surprising to see Nader's influence effecting a hypothetical poll when a woman was the possible canidate. I find it extremely surprising since Michigan is a mainly Democratic state. We'll vote democrat even if it is bad for us, for example, look at the recently resigned mayor of Detroit, Kwame Malik Kilpatrick.

I don't see Nader effecting this election that much unlike past elections, if he is even involved at all (I haven't heard much of Nader this time around). Things seem to be firmly shifted towards Obama right now and the only thing I think that will effect this election is if lazy asses don't get out and vote.

I don't know if I was on topic at all, I just came home from the bar, so I'm a little out of it.
