Car Crazy by Henry Payne & Diane Katz Al Gore, automotive engineer.

There is no evidence, however, that Nader himself has made any such commitment, and a recent Michigan poll provided the latest evidence of the trouble he could cause Gore. Six weeks ago, Bush was down by one point in Michigan. Since then, the DNC has spent $1.2 million on issue ads in the state to boost Gore’s message, and Bush now leads Gore by five points. When a recent poll of likely voters factored in Nader, he got eight points, leaving Bush with a twelve-point lead. If the UAW and the Teamsters sit on the sidelines in this year’s presidential race—and Gore loses—it might be time to stop talking about a “conservative crack-up,” and start watching the Democratic one.
