Pressure Grows for Nader to Run
NewsMax ^ | 10/22/03 | Limbacher

Nearly one in four voters in a new USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll say the Green Party's Ralph Nader should run for president again in 2004.

Nader expressed surprise and said the numbers showed that "people are looking for alternatives to the Democratic and Republican duopoly."

A Draft Nader organization is setting up shop in all 50 states, and he has asked California to put his name on the Greens' presidential primary ballot for March, USA Today reported today, but he says he won't decide until December whether to jump in.

You can bet that no one wants Nader to run more than ... President Bush and Karl Rove. After all, Ralphie boy torpedoed Al Gore in 2000, just as Ross Perot shot down President George H.W. Bush for Bill Clinton in 1992.

That’s basically the same percentage that are hardcore Republican voters.

What a coinkydink!

Man, if the loonies had to pick between Nader and Dean, I bet theyd just be torn.

Well at least here in Chicago they can vote for both of them, numerous times.

I would think he would find tons of support among conservatives, heh, heh, heh.
Run Ralph Run.

My wife saw Ralph Nader jogging in our neighborhood the night after his big rally in Boston in October 2000.

If I knew then what I know now I would have gotten him some orange juice.

That reminds me of an old Sesame Street episode I was watching with my son, who was 2 at the time.

It was that “These are the people in your neighborhood” song, and I kid you not – the three people in the neighborhood that day were Walter Kronkite, Martina Navratalova, and Ralph Nader.

I said to my son, “If those were the people in my neighborhood, I’d move.” He just answered “mmmmph.”

Sure, why not. There also 129 other candidates in California that are looking for office as well.

Ralphie will get like 0% of the vote if Howie Dean is nominated... but he might get a big chunk of disgruntled lefties should the Rats nominate Clark.

How about a Dean/Sharpton ticket for the Dems, and
A Nader/Bernie Sanders ticket for the Greens?
They could put the debates on Pay Per View.

Sharpton would have to turn Green for that, but we can dream.....
