Nader is Running for President

were expected to back whoever wins the primaries

I'd expect them backing Barack before they'd back Ralph Nader.

And even so, Barack doesn't need all of those ex-Hillary voters, he's got plenty of Independants and Republicans crossing the aisle to come vote for him, it's not like Ralph Nader is even a threat at this point, it's just a publiblicity stunt to try and garner some votes for whatever reason.

I still think it's very possible Barack could win even with Nader out there. Just look at how many people are voting in democratic primaries as opposed to Republican ones. I'm not sure if enough Republicans exist to shut down that kind of trend.

For the love of country I hope you guys are right.

Willkill is right, look at all of the primaries. I think every contest there has been 2x as many Democrat voters as there have been Republicans, that's an easy statistic to put together, and Barack is still the frontrunner in the Dem race, simple as that. Check and Mate.

Barack should be good if he doesn't have any big skeletons in his closet to the gap. Partially democratic turn-outs have been inflated by states where you don't have to be a democrat to vote in the primaries, but still if these numbers persist a 3% steal by nader won't mean shit >: D.
