Nader is running for president.
Later: I'm on the West Coast and finally got to watch him on Meet The Press.
Nader clearly has good ideas on many of the important issues facing the country, but just as clearly he is simply letting his ego over-ride his intellect.
If he really wants to make changes, he should run for the Senate or the House.
You can't make changes if you can't get your hands on the levers of power, and he sure as hell isn't going to be elected President.

I'm surprised I haven't heard any allegations so far that Bush somehow paid him off, since Bush is the clear beneficiary of this.

It isn't over, until its over.
Unless the American public is stupid. The jury is still out on that statement. I am going to give the benefit of the doubt...
Until after November.
A little faith is what gets one out of bed.
A little faith- and to those who dissent to this, a little organization and effort. Who cares about rain when you've prepared by bringing an umbrella. ;)

As far as allegations go, it's usually the other side making them.

I voted for Nader in 2000, and I regret it now. The man's legacy will be mostly positive, but with these campaigns, he's making a total idiot of himself.
I doubt, though, that'll even get a small fraction of his previous vote. He's not likely to be a factor.

Nader.
How boring.

There's a great cartoon in today's NY TIMES; shows Nader holding a piece of paper and saying, "My supporters urged me to run."
The paper lists all of the Bush cabinet members.
'nuff said.
