Ralph Nader just announced on Meet The Press that he is once again running for President.    

I am speechless.

Rachel Sklar, editor of The Huffington Post's Eat The Press page asked, "Where is the demand?"

We all know what happened during the mash up of Bush v Gore v Nader in 2000.  So, is there a demand out there for a third party candidate?  And I don't mean Ron Paul or Michael Bloomberg!

I don't remember him. LOL

OK more people to screw up the election. People WILL vote Green if they are mad at Obama or Clinton. Nader is such a spoiler.

There are some of us who are not satisfied with the two major parties, with corporate greed and with the destruction of the planet. Nader won't win, but he gets my vote.
I'm wishing for a good 3rd party candidate too. Not Nader per say...but I'm still looking ...For me the Presidential election is still wide open, no one has my vote yet.

I sure do agree that he is so much better than what we have not to vote for.

I'm speechless!

I don't get it with him. He knows he won't win...

Is this his way of leveling the playing field?

It is a way of making people think about issues. People who vote for Nader are making a statement. Mosre people should care enough about the world, about consumers and the future.

Nader, Kunich, Ron Paul...

*sigh*

Wow. Now I'm *really* confused! LOL!

A 3rd party candidate that won't win is a distraction. As much as I like Nader, he won't get my vote this time.
Dan H. Feb 25, 2008, 8:38am EST
Whether we agree or disagree with his policies, we as a country always benefit from more choices and less censorship, so I support his decision to run whether or not he'll get my vote.

He must not have anything better to do.

I think he is making his living taking contributions and paying himself a salary from them. Nader is "gaming the system," and it is something lawyers are expert at.

He has every right to run, I do too, so I would not try to stop him. Who knows, I may decide to ask Charli Mills to run, and hire me as campaign manager. It might be fun, but at the moment I am endorsing Pogo Possum.

His ideas are humanitarian and sound. Not a chance of winning and small chance as spoiler.

I'll vote for whichever Democrat in Nov.
Terry M. Mar 2, 2008, 9:44pm EST
Nader now has a V.P. candidate who is an expeienced politican.
