Ralph Nader, through the years

admin — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 20:10:03 +0000

2008: 695,446 (0.5%)
2004: 465,650 (0.38%)
2000: 2,882,955 (2.7%)

I doubt "history" gives a rats ass about the "Nader/Gonzalez initiative" (they used to be called "campaigns"), and after I hit submit "post" on this little piece, neither will I.
