I just want to make sure that I have the rules right for this card... If somebody else meets the current goal and I have "The Traitor" Creeper, then I win instead. However, if I have "The Traitor" Creeper and another Creeper such as the "Radioactive Potato" that states "You cannot win if you have this card," then what happens? Do I still win or does the original person win? Basically, does the having the "Radioactive Potato" (or similar Creeper) negate the power of "The Traitor"?

According to the Fluxx FAQ, if you have the Traitor and someone else meets the Goal, you win even if you have another Creeper that would ordinarily prevent you from winning.

* A: Q: Does The Traitor still allow me to claim somebody else's victory even if I have other Creepers that prevent me from winning?

* A: Yes. The card states that "If another player meets the goal, you win instead of them." Meaning that you do not have to (and are not allowed to) meet any of the requirements to win. Most other creepers say "You cannot win if you have this unless the goal says otherwise", but can neutralized by something other than the goal (i.e. the sonic tranquilizer and Abduction chamber keepers, the silver lining rule and even the Important Human Creeper) so it makes sense that a creeper could allow you to win in the same fashion. This is unlike trying to meet the "All that is certain" goal while also possessing another Creeper. In that case, the other Creeper would prevent you from meeting the goal even though it allows for two other creepers.
