Mr Spoiler...Um, I mean Nader, throws his hat in the ring
 

Here we go again.

This circus gets better and better.

"Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, speaking shortly before Nader’s announcement, said Nader’s past runs have shown that he usually pulls votes from the Democratic nominee. “So naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race,” the former Arkansas governor said on CNN."

Dr Phil for president?
 

Dr. Phil for president!!! Nadar can be the vp! cindy

This will be as useless as '04...if Obama wins the Dem nomination.

I wonder what McCain promised him...? In truth, though, I think with the number of people who regret the way the 2000 election turned out, he won't have an impact.

Give that man a Corvair.

The more that I develop this alternate life here in the Philippines the less I get all pissed off and bothered about the coming election.

Knowing that Nader is running just makes me laugh at this point.

Nader has saved thousands of lives with his consumer advocacy over the years.

It's amazing that he's made a joke out of himself like this.

I think he fancies himself being a real difference maker...and you know what? He would be a big difference maker...so big that he would never become president unless the collective conscience of this country shifted hard.

Run, Nader, run! Keep running every 4 years!

As long as they take votes from Hitlery, I'm good.

But Obama will win the primary. What then?

Who? Names, I want names. ;)

I know you're probably just kidding, but my sister's life was probably saved by Ralph Nader. If any one human being can be considered responsible for the widespread addition of seat belts and other safety devices in cars, it's Nader. My sister was hit head on by a guy who crossed over the line on a windy mountain road. Nothing she could have done to avoid it. She was hospitalized, but her seat belt, the padded dash, and the collapsible steering column made her injuries much less severe. Nader didn't invent any of those things, but his consumer advocacy made them standard in modern cars.

I still wouldn't vote for him. He's a professional pain in the ass.

Do you think someone pays him to do this? Why else would he?

I don't know Nader personally but his motivation might be that he has been around long enough to know that obama/hillary/mccain are all cut from the same cloth and not much will be different regardless of who wins. I don't think he has any delusions of winning, but he can certainly ask some questions that might otherwise be ignored.
