Poor Nadar, so close to his potential announcement, has been consistently criticized for spoiling the election for Gore in 2000. The critics of Salon.com claim that Nadar won 97421 votes and if one considered the Gore voting range, then Nader's votes came from what otherwise would have been Gore's (new voter candidate program that tracks the Voting pool of candidates). Nader, the spoiler, is currently announcing the new Coal Mine Safety report, all the while a new online website for Green Party voters is attempting to attract voters to endorse Nader for Presidency. The 'Draft Nader' website posts all upcoming Nader speaking engagements, quips and consumerist essays, and actively pushes reasons for why Nader is the 'green' man. (www.draftnader.org).
Watch out for Nader; if he gets pushed far enough by green party support he'll announce and if he does he might still be called the spoiler come next year. (Oh and statistically speaking, its doubtful that Nader ever lived up to the name 'spoiler' back in the 2000 election.)
