He ran for President as the Green Party candidate in 1996. Factor In a race this close, Ralph Nader can hardly fail to have at least a potential impact. In the following states, Gore trails Bush by a margin that is less than this study's projected vote for Nader: Colorado Colorado, state, United States Colorado (kŏlərăd`ə, –răd`ō, –rä`dō), state, W central United States, one of the Rocky Mt. states. , Nevada Nevada (nəvăd`ə, –vä–), far western state of the United States.

At its northwestern corner are the so-called Four Corners, where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah meet at right angles; New Mexico is also bordered by Oklahoma (NE), Texas (E, S), and Mexico (S). , Ohio, Tenessee and Washington. And in Wisconsin, Gore would lead Bush if it were not for the Nader vote. Clearly, one of the key factors to look for tonight is just what percentage of the vote Nader gets in these key states. Race for Senate Control Like the race for the Presidency, the race for control of the Senate is likely to make for extended light night television viewing. The following chart shows how we think the races are most likely to turn out. As can be seen, many races are extremely close and could easily go either way on election day. Three Missouri, Michigan and Delaware are literally toss-ups.
