I left this out of my previous piece on Ralph Nader. Every poll out there shows him with staggering negatives. The American Research Group survey, f'rinstance, has him with a 10% favorable rating and a 76% unfavorable rating. That's about how Saddam's polling these days.
Now, I certainly think it's possible to be in the right and to rack up a huge unfavorable rating. There's almost something heroic in sticking to your principles in spite of such numbers. I just don't think it's realistic to expect to accomplish much that's constructive.
