I have rated this article Start class because it show some useful facts and a lot of promise, but it needs much more information and a better structure for B class or higher. Thanks.-- Mifter ( talk) 01:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to burst you guys' bubbles, but Cindy Sheehan didn't endorse Nader; she actually endorsed Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney. See: http://www.greenpartywatch.org/2008/08/27/cindy-sheehan-formally-endorses-cynthia-mcckinney-and-green-party/

Sean Penn is supporting Obama, not Nader. See this article: "Party Time '08: Sean Penn To 'Reluctantly' Vote For Obama." 71.139.34.78 ( talk) 21:40, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
This section needs work, NPOV. 76.171.171.194 ( talk) 16:56, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Dunno if this counts as full endorsement, but it's PROBABLY where whoever said that got the idea: http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A48067 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.116.212.56 ( talk) 16:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
I've done a few edits for sourcing, and now I'm working on other sources. This article's a bit of a mess, though, with lots of broken/nonexistent links. Help appreciated! :) Regards. FangedFaerie ( Talk | Edits) 19:16, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Citation to CBS has 120,235,241 votes between Obama and McCain alone, not even counting third party candidates. 658,868/120,235,241 equals 0.0055, or 0.55%. That percentage is slightly lower when you count third-party votes. You can undo it and say that I had "no original research" but I used the citation provided and did some basic math. Saying he won 1% doubles his actual support in the election and is wrong.
When the election count is official, however, let's put the true percentage in. It's probably going to be closer to .5 than 1.0, which is a significant difference.

In light of recent revisions, I've left the 0.54 figure, which is sourced, next to the current count. Regards. FangedFaerie ( Talk | Edits) 18:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
In order to attempt to maintain NPOV, I've added a quote from the letter to Obama. Regardless of his very poor word choice, Mr. Nader was trying to make a point about finances. I see no reason to remove Mr. Nader's words. Regards. FangedFaerie ( Talk | Edits) 17:46, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
