Kerry meets Nader, but doesn't ask him to quit

Hm. That's more than Gore ever did...

The aide said the two candidates spent the rest of the meeting talking about their common fights against corporate welfare and for consumer and abortion rights. The aide said they did not discuss the Iraq war.

“It’s my intention to speak very directly to those people who voted for Ralph Nader last time. I believe my campaign can appeal to them and frankly reduce any rationale for his candidacy.” - John Kerry

Let's hope so. As for me, John Kerry is not Al Gore, Joe Lieberman or George Bush and that'll have to be enough.

I'd still like a troop withdrawal date, though.
