Nader to decide soon on possible presidential run

[LoZoccolo]

MONTREAL (Reuters) - Consumer advocate Ralph Nader said on Monday he will decide soon on whether to make a another bid for the White House in 2008, eight years after playing a key role as a third party presidential candidate.

"I'll decide in about a month," he said in an interview broadcast on CBC Radio's Daybreak show in Montreal.

"What I'm deciding on right now is whether we can get enough volunteers, enough financial resources to overcome the huge ballot access obstacles, which you don't experience here in Canada, but which are the worst in the Western world in the United States," said Nader, who will turn 74 on February 27.

And we'll be ready to keep you off the ballots and give you the thorough drubbing you deserve, if not another lawsuit.

Who else is ready?

[swag]

1. I think I'm getting a hard-on.

[ulysses]

2. someone certainly is.

[LoZoccolo]

9. self-delete n/t

[ulysses]

12. it's a figure of speech.

And that's not hostility - it's derision.

That said, I certainly don't mean to make you feel sexually uncomfortable. I'll try to remember not to do that.

[LoZoccolo]

13. Thank you for your apology. I will delete my post.

You can delete your apology and we can both forget about this.

[ulysses]

16. it wasn't an apology.

:shrug:

[ulysses]

17. as long as you're here,

what do you think of the possibility of this bunch of centrists running Bloomberg as an indie?

[LoZoccolo]

18. I think it's bullshit and I will work toward crushing his candidacy.

If he wants the treatment I have given Nader, he can fuck with me and find out.

[ulysses]

20. is it "splinterism"?

[LoZoccolo]

21. I cannot tell yet.

It seems to be an attack on both parties, rather than getting the Republicans elected to terrorize the populace.

[ulysses]

23. but isn't it an attempt to freeze the status quo at the present point?

Seems like a Republican dream to me.

[LoZoccolo]

24. I'm not sure of that.

I can't tell what they are for really. Again, this might be another thing that's wrong, but not splinterism specifically.

[skipos]

3. I think the odds of him getting in against Hillary are pretty high.

I don't think he will get in against Edwards or Obama.

[polichick]

4. Give it a rest Ralphie! nt

[Xipe Totec]

5. I think I'm going to Ralph

:puke:

[liberal N proud]

6. Hasn't he fucked with enough Presidential elections?

[MADem]

10. My sentiments EXACTLY!!!! nt

[peoli]

7. he and bloomberg may both end up running is Hillary gets the nomination

[nosmokes]

8. Yeah, not allowing folks to vote for who they want has created so many

fans, like in Michigan where people are simply thrilled with the zdemocratic party for being cut out of the process. fucking thrilled. That swagger and riding crop don't look good on the supposed party of the people, ya know?

[Nedsdag]

11. Nader won't be the only one running.

I hear Cynthia McKinney may run as well, futher diluting the Democratic vote.

[Konza]

15. I think McKinney will get the Green nomination

Nader will run independent against Hillary, without any reservations.
He suggested earlier he liked Edwards,and thought Obama was acceptable.
But he despises the Clintons, so he'd run against her just for spite.

We also have Bloomberg, who will run against Hillary on the Spite ticket.
He has tons of scandals, but he's a billionaire, so who knows what he could do nationally.

And the final wild card is Lou Dobbs. He's running on the Hate Mexicans ticket.

What an election this might be.

[no name no slogan]

14. Let him on the ballots

Beat him in the trenches, where it counts. Win the war of ideas. In other words, just run a candidate better than him.

Unless you're AFRAID of little old Ralph Nader?

dooga dooga dooga dooga dooga

19. Nader will never bypass the matching funds, he will run as well as Larouch and others. n/t
