Nader voices support for Kucinich !

[Hoppin_Mad]

Just now on Crossfire.

He said ( I think ) after Nofacts asked him why he isn't supporting DK.

" I am supporting Kucinch and I urge people to vote for him "

Did I hear this 100% correctly ?

-edit spelling-

1. of course he would

That might get him 5% right there!

4. More likely to drag down Nader.

Everything this man touches seems to turn to lead.

I've been a fan for awhile (though I continue to state that the man in unqualified to run for President).. but I ca't see why he is so far behind two people I cansider to NOT be candidates at all.

He's certainly 100% more qualified than Sharpton, yet he stays at 1-2%

7. no, it turns to gold!

"Everything this man touches seems to turn to lead."

ummm... what Nader touches turns to Gold. More people talk about Nader than Gore even though Nader only got 3% of the vote in 2000, I think.

Kucinich is the rudder of the ship, although he's small, he's in control...

[Frodo]

10. I have no idea what Nader's track record on the matter is.

It's Kucinich who seems to turn everything he touched to lead.

Nader might be fine.

2. Interesting.

He said the same thing on Washington Journal on C-span this morning. That's two public endorsements from Nader in one day. Between that and Winona LaDuke, there seems no reason why former Nader voters wouldn't take another look.

3. Yup, I think you did...

I just hit the unmute button and I think thats what he said...but he has always supported DK. Said if people vote for Dennis, that he(Nader) wouldn't run.

Just had a the co-chair of the AZ Greenparty switch to Dem to vote for Kucinich...


Peace

5. got the news in your email

Very nice to know we can get some Green votes in our corner. :-)

[Desertrose]

6. I was pleased to hear he actually changed party affiliation

cause he really likes Dennis...of course the next day he's a green again but...by then he will have cast another vote for Kucinich

8. I first saw Dk at national campus green convention plus

he and nader are friends

[goodhue]

9. yes your heard correctly

and he has been saying as much since last July

[LWolf]

11. Yep.

I didn't hear him on MSNBC, but Nader has been saying this for months.

[Red_Storm]

12. So, any chance then of........

a Kucinich/Nader Campaign..........

[Lone Pawn]

13. hope not

If there is, it will be undeniable proof the Nader is being paid by the Republican party.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

16. Wow that was ridiculous...would you care to explain

Would you care to explaing the most ridiculous statement I have read on DU today?

[Alex146]

14. In that case I support DK even less

Nader's a loser. Or a republican. Either way I wouldn't get anywhere near him if I were a dem running for pres.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

17. In that case I support DK even more!

Two highly intelligent progressives! Both with the common person's best interest at heart!

Awesome!

GO DENNIS!

15. Nader said he wouldn't run if DK gets nom

But that won't happen, so he's running.
