Nader for President?

He can’t be serious?  I’m still one of the folks that think his running in 2000 handed the election to the Republicans, so I’m sure they are hopeful he’ll run again.  Heck, I’ll even start the conspiracy theory and say the Republicans are probably putting him up to this since they’ll have a tough time beating Obama (sorry Hillary, I just don’t see how you can stop him now).  He ruined it for Gore so maybe he can do a repeat performance.

OK, seriously, why would he run?  He can’t possibly think people would vote for him?  What does he have to offer?  This offers nothing but confusion and disruption.  He cannot possibly win.  He should fire any handlers that are telling him anything different.

Disclaimer: remember, I know nothing about anything (but even I think this is a stupid idea)

    Yea, but can Nadar raise enough money through sin taxes to finally fix the 75 year construction project that is Interstate 79.

    What people really need to understand is what we absolutely need in this country is 3 solid parties with none of them having a majority. The parties are controlled by people on the far left and right. No one actually lives to those extremes...we all live in the middle.

    The 2 party system is a series of win-lose decisions. It's us versus them rather than trying to strike a balance. It has been demonstrated for years that what we have with D's and R's is not a functional solution. Rather than encouraging Nadar and his followers to go on, people like you are blaming him. Wha, wha.

    Think what might have happened in 2000 if a 48% R majority had to strike a deal with Nadar's 3% to form a majority ruling "coalition". It would definitely have watered down the D and R extemists...

    I'm voting for Nader. No War, No Corporations-because all businesses are evil. He will inact so many alcohol and cigarette sin taxes we will be able fix every pot hole between Pittsburgh and Canonsburg 10 times over each year.
