Despite his support, Potter said Nader should have been more vocal about many of the issues in this country since the last presidential election took place.

“I agree that he did a kind of disappearing act after the election, and I feel he should have been involved in party building. My support for him is based on my belief in the need to get rid of the stranglehold on politics in this country,” Potter said.

When asked if they would vote for Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., in 2004 if Nader decided to end his bid, the Nader supporters unanimously answered no.

“There is no way I would vote for Kerry. He supported the war in Iraq. I would probably vote for some obscure candidate who would only get a couple thousand votes,” DiMaggio said.

Today’s teach-in at Harvard was one of many happenings at college campuses in support of Nader. The rally participants indicated that although turnout was low, they would continue to host events.

DiMaggio indicated that the next teach-in would probably take place after spring break.

“We are looking to see how many other people on this campus might be interested in the Nader campaign,” DiMaggio said.
