Interesting, Democrat Presidential Candidate Darcy Richardson is running because he couldn't convince former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), or Representative Dennis Kucinich, among others to run. Now let's now see if the media does a random act of journalism(credit term to Rush) to confirm or deny Nader's claim.

"a random act of journalism(credit term to Rush)"

as opposed to its opposite, "complete jahhh-whoren-alism" (credit term to Jay Severin).

They need not worry. Obama will win, I fear. The GOP will hand the presidential election to the democrats and will find a way to give them back the House. Unless we can wrest control of the GOP from the country club establishment, the the destruction of our republic will continue.

Another angle, that those who are working to get Obama reelected were out convincing Democrats he could win. The Republican debates could start to make them nervous as they realize the enormous distance between the stated goals and results, just look at the (non)affordable health care bill, was it the House bill, or the Senate bill? What-ever it was, it wasn’t what the Progressive Democrats wanted, and what Democrat isn’t a ‘Progressive’?

And ‘jobs, jobs, jobs’, where? Bragging about 200,000 jobs? After what Democrats have done legislatively, including Pelosi and all their Jobs bills, the 200,000 jobs is a very dismal performance. And a trend it is not, I’m sure we’ll hear terms like ‘fragile recovery’ several times in just the next week.

Actually, Nader’s got one hope for a challenger, Democrat Presidential Candidate Darcy Richardson, and on his web site, http://www.darcy2012.com/, he’s counting down the days;

From former Communist/rat Representative David Obey: “And if Obama can’t win in the next election, progressivism will take a huge, huge hit.”

It should die a miserable death. Our republic needs a Constitutional “Big Bang,” where a conservative Congress and President exercise every legitimate power they have to kill the progressive State.

Flood the zone. Imitate their tactics. Give them so much to scream about they cannot keep track of it all.

Our nation cannot withstand either four more Obama years nor a placeholder pubbie.

The petty little man who is the president doesn’t like to be told he’s not The One.

He truly is the perfect Democrat.

And if Obama can’t win in the next election, progressivism will take a huge, huge hit. (...) I mean we will rise or fall based on how Obama does.

That's a sobering assessment. They now realize that everything for which they've worked (subversively and openly) the past several decades is at risk. That makes them more dangerous than ever.

Does that mean Nader has decided to cave as well, and not do a third party run, like he’s done in the past?

I disagree. Here is a legitimate Democrat primary challenger in New Hampshire who is far more mainstream than is Obama.
