Because of the way the polls are shaping up on his candidacy, I highly doubt he will have an effect on the election of the kind it is alleged he has had previously. His own desired effect I completely endorse: <blockquote> <strong>AVC</strong>: It's November 5, 2008. What realistically, would be the best-case scenario for you?<br /> <strong>RN</strong>: That we mobilized a lot of people, young and older, and got them running for local and state election. Or energized citizen groups whose causes and various localities we championed as we go through the country. That we kept the progressive agenda alive. That we set standards for presidential campaigning, like not taking commercial money and focusing on subject matter of great importance to the public. And building for the future.
