I wonder why Nader even bothers.

Is there any consolation in the U.S. system for finishing last? At least in Canada, you can win a few seats and get a voice in Parliament, but unless I am mistaken, Nader and his party/faction/supporters do not get anything.

All he does is make it easier for Bush to win, which you would think (given his political leanings) would be the last thing he would want.
