Who has evidence that Nader won't run if Dean Wins?????
My friend working at the Dean campaign hadn't heard about it and we can't find evidence to support this statement.

1. All I've got

NADER MAY PASS ON '04 RUN IF DEAN IS DEM NOMINEE. Former Green Party Presidential nominee Ralph Nader continues his on-and-off flirtation with making a fourth run for the White House in 2004. Nader has yet to decide if he'll run next year and yet to decide if he'd run as a Green or an Independent if does make the race. However -- in what must be good news to the Democrats -- Nader told the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he would probably not run if Howard Dean is the Democratic nominee. "Reading his position papers sounds eerily similar to what we've been saying. He speaks clearly … not in Senate-ese … and projects vigor. We need a macho Democrat," said Nader. Nader has previously expressed strong support for Dennis Kucinich's Presidential campaign, but this is the first time he's praised Dean. Don't think, however, that Nader is a total Dean cheerleader: "Dean's record as Governor is nothing to shout about," explained Nader.

8. "We need a macho Democrat"
ain't that the truth...say it again, and again, and again, Ralph.

The irony too ..macho in this race comes in the form not of a Vietnam war hero or four-star general but a once obscure governor from a small, New England state.

2. I just saw it on google.
He said Dean incorporated a lot of his views. However, he does not really like Dean. He just thinks he could get the job done.

5. Dean's the reason Nader's considering running
He doesn't like Dean. EVeyrone who's been studying the issue knows where Nader stands.

7. There is no evidence
because Nader will run no matter what. If by some bizarre circumstance we nominated Dennis Kucinich, the next day Nader would discovoer some problem with him. Make book on it, Nader will run unless someone figures out a pressure point to make him not run.
