When Nader got word that he was not going to get the nomination, he could have released his delegates (and many did ask) to go vote for Gore. He refused to release them, full well knowing that his was a lost cause. EGO. Even his best friend, Bob Reich, told him to release the people that want to be released and Ralph said "no." Bob later said it was all about Nader's all-consuming ego. I don't see how BS is doing anything different. The thing for Nader was - after the election, he became persona non gratis in the party. And stayed that way.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
