Assuming Nader is referring to Obama's ability to retain his strong minority base, he actually may have an interesting point - what happens when Obama actually lives up to his centrist (or, rather, mutual-respect) ideals?

But, you're talking about a position he took a number of years ago. One looks at his platform, and it paints a different picture. And, that relies on Nader keeping his 2008 promises, which is questionable.
Plus, I don't think Obama lives up to those centrist ideals.
