Talk about campaign reform. It shopuld be a law that an independent should not be able to enter a race t the end only to scew the popular vote. To me this guy is a hit man that is sent in to mess up the numbers and cause division. It is IMPOSSIBLE for him to get in office and he knows it ; but never the less he will come out and be a paper weight . Change the rules to prevent this planed entry !

I guess some people believe Ralph Nader runs for President to actually BECOME President. Ralph runs to debate issues in the public forum. As for screwing the popular vote, the voters are the only ones that can screw that up, and they don't need Ralph's help.

I think this is a non-issue, especially this year with Obama's ability to attract Independents.

There are about 350,000 people registered in the Green Party, compared to 169 million registered Democrats (2004-2005 numbers from Wikipedia). If the massive increases in primary and caucus turnout translate to increased Democratic votes in November, this will negate any influence the Green Party might have had in past elections.

I thought Dennis Kucinich already lost?

But seriously, Nader needs to stay home. For once, the left and right of the Democratic party are holding hands- at least temporarily, and only in public. The last thing we need is a spoiler to come in and screw it up for everyone.

Energy Independence Now!

No more Oil Wars!

Stop funding the terrorists!

Drill in Anwar.

Build more nuclear power plants

Use More coal.

Use more natural gas

Turn trash into energy

Double the efficiency of windmills and solar cells.

If France can do nuclear power so can we.

If Brazil can do biomass/ethanol power so can we.

If Australia can do LNG power so can we.

Domestically produced energy will end recession and spur the economy.

I'm disgusted that Ralph Nader is running. All of his fair criticisms considered, how can he honestly believe that Gore would have been just as bad as Bush, or that Obama or Clinton would be just as bad as McCain? That's egotistical and deluded. Considering it is 100% impossible that Nader could win the election he should have the decency to consider the potential detriment he could cause. Once wasn't enough? At this point there are far more practical and intelligent ways he could promote his ideas. This election is too important. I hope he croaks.
