It seems an opposite of past years; Nader is polling worst in the Northeast and better in the Midwest. His worst statistical area though is the south.

Does anybody know, mostly directed to you Richard, when Matt Gonzalez will be doing some touring by himself? I know he has done some engagements with Ralph, but it would make sense to send him to some states. I have heard him speak a few times online and he seems to be very good at bashing Obama.

In 2004 he was only on the ballot before 50.1% of the voters. He hated having been removed from the ballot in so many states in 2004. And one reason for his attitude was that being removed from the ballot in so many states artifically reduced his national vote total so badly.

In FL the poll showed Obama & McCain at 46% and 8% Undecided. But when the voters were given a bigger choice the vote was:

Obama – 48%
McCain – 45%
Nader – 4%
Barr – 1%
McKinney – 1%
Undecided – 1%

First it seems McCain is the loser this year to the Third-Party/Independent Candidates in FL. Second the voters are not as Undecided as some think. But I still can not explain why Obama gained.
