Who knows. But in any serious move to the left, there will always be a 
counter-move. If in the unlikely event that Hillary Clinton is the 
Democratic Party candidate, there will be real opportunities for the 
left in the elections. Let's see if the Greens can figure out a way to 
squander them. As far as Nader is concerned, I imagine that a lot of 
disenchanted left-liberals would consider voting for him, but he doesn't 
seem to have any interest at all in building some kind of ongoing 
institutional base. Who knows, if ordinary workers begin to move, then 
all bets are off.
