Kevin Arnovitz writing in SLATE:

(I have witnessed) a Nader rally up-close. Who will you find at a Nader For President rally? Those in the "citizenry," as his web site posts, who "wish to declare their independence from corporate rule and expanding domination"? Women? Latinos? Blue-collar laborers? Immigrants? Gays? The underclass?

No. Head to the nearest Nader '04 tour stop and you'll find a lot of white guys in earth shoes, and hipsters with ironic Izods — in short, those who cannot delineate between Republicans and Democrats and, frankly, those who can afford the luxury of political myopia.
