The Washington Post's David Broder evaluates Nader's pretension of appealing to a broad spectrum of voters:
Nader has claimed in interviews that his candidacy opens 'a second front' against Bush and would appeal greatly to disillusioned conservatives and Republicans. That is malarkey. Republican pollster Bill McInturff surveyed likely voters last month and found that the subgroups most prone to consider voting for Nader were 'younger white men, liberals and Democrats, particularly in the mid-Atlantic and Pacific regions,' the Democratic heartland. 'This data makes it clear that Nader's entry into the presidential race will have no impact on Republican or Bush voters,' he wrote.
