An interesting disagreement has surfaced within the Nader camp over the question of donations from Republicans. Nader's vice presidential candidate, Peter Camejo, has stated that he would recommend giving donations from Republicans back if they have been given to undermine Kerry. Nader won't hear of it.
To a degree, Camejo's position rests on grounds that make it difficult to implement - one can imagine interviewing these Republicans only to have them swear with a straight face that they support only Saint Ralph. But this is a divide nonetheless, and Nader's refusal to admit that there is a problem here is indicative of the extent of his denial (or apathy). This is a great wedge issue to use against him.
