"I said, 'You better look and see what your Democrats are doing here because they can get in trouble'. ... I told him, 'This could be a kind of Watergate.'"

Nader said that Kerry has "got these rambunctious, aggressive underlings of his" who have been infiltrating Nader's events and sabotaging his efforts to get on the ballot.

Kerry told Nader that he didn't know what he was taking about but promised to look into it.

"I think Terry McAuliffe is going to be called by Kerry," Nader told Hannity, "because he told me last week that he's supporting these kind of interferences."

Nader said that while he still considers Kerry a personal friend, he's staying in the race till the bitter end.

Asked about the complaint that he was hurting Kerry's chances to defeat Bush, Nader shot back, "He's hurting my chances."
