A Seat Belt Legacy

A while back I predicted Nader was planning to drop out of the race before election day. More and more now it's looking like that won't turn out to be the case. One month ago Nader said to a newsweek columnist, "Kerry and Bush will drop out before I will … There’s no such thing as dropping out of a race like this. Once you get in, you’re in for the duration.” So ok, it doesn't look like he's going to drop out. There was also another interesting quote in the article.
"Do you think you’re spoiling your legacy, especially among former supporters?" Dryly: “I don’t think they’re going to start ripping out seat belts from their cars.”
Indeed, agree with him or not, I think this sums up the guy's attitude quite well.
