Not Again, Nader!

News Item: Ralph Nader to run for president

It's really hard to believe what Ralph is thinking at this point. His reason for running in 2000- that the two major parties are exactly the same and that the Democrats need to be taught a lesson for tacking the center- has been dealt as serious a blow by the last seven years of history as any idea can possibly be dealt. If he gets even one percent of the general election vote I'll be shocked.

Also, the above link is incorrect- this is actually Ralph's fourth run for president, not the third. He ran in 1996- I remember that my drug-dealing freshman RA voted for him.

Easy answer. He is running again becuase he is a giant ego-maniac!

I heard him on Meet the Press, and I can't fault him for running. Despite what the right likes to say, the Dems aren't Socialists, Nader is.

I want as many third party choices as possible and I want them in the debates to give people something other than Hertz or Avis to choose from.

I'm all about Avis and Hertz. Screw Enterprise!
