"Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese said the ruling meant Nader's attempt to get on the Ohio ballot now rests with the Ohio Supreme Court."
Yeah, you can bet that there were hordes of sleazy moveon-type people volunteering to work for Nader and signing petitions with ridiculous names to undermine his campaign. Add the Edwards team of Ambulence Chasing Lawyers harassing the Nader camp with frivolous lawsuits and you see that the Dem. party has become the anti-free speech party.
There is still hope that the State Supreme Court can reverse this. This decision bears close watching.
The Rats have a long tradition of keeping "certain" names off of the ballot. Lyndon LaRouche always runs as a Democrat but his name is kept off of many primary ballots illegally (through Rat judges).
