And now the nadir of the race

[melchar]

As expected, Ralph Nader feels he needs the attention - or possibly has finally been paid enough by the Republican machine - and has entered the race for president.

How ... 'nice' [that is, if 'nice' really meant 'someone full of himself, deciding to play spoiler']

Right. So now the Democrats need to convince Huckabilly [name spelled that way on purpose] to run on an independent ticket to bring things up even again. [sighs]

Bad idea. He's rational enough to look attractive to some Democrats, too - and might win New York.

Nader is a jack-ass.

Huck would be nice because more people would vote for him, but I reckon the right-wing equivalent to Nadir is Ron Paul.

I love this quote from Nader which shows he doesn't know what he's saying:

From http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/24/nader.politics/index.html
"Nader told NBC that great changes in U.S. history have come 'through little parties that never won any national election.'"

So if you're trying to change things Nader, why the hell are you running in a national election? Go for Congress, you twit, and stop splitting the vote of those who share your views, causing neither of you to get anywhere.

But Congress is -work- and does not provide enough ego massage for a prima donna. [sighs] The man -once- had good ideas and principles, but has lost them in a need for self-gratification since then. Here's hoping he draws less than 1% of the vote this time.
