Quoted: Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who has studied third parties, said Johnson and Stein might hurt each other. He pointed to research showing that Nader had “two kinds of supporters: one was die-hard leftists on board with his platform, and the other set weren’t particularly ideological but were dissatisfied with Bush and Gore.” The larger the second set, the more Johnson and Stein will compete for voters.
