For what it's worth, Nader has fairly complimentary things to say about Obama...
From CNN.com-- Nader called Obama "a person of substance" and "the first liberal evangelist in a long time" who "has run a good tactical campaign." But he accused Obama of censoring "his better instincts" on divisive issues. Source:http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/24/nader.politics/index.html

It's not bad, considering some of the stuff he's said about Kerry and Gore. For those of you who still consider Nader a liberal hero (though an electoral spoiler), you might as well take heed of what he's saying about his competition. And he said this in RESPONSE to Obama's criticism. Of course, I can't find a source for all of those spliced quotes yet, other than CNN itself...

Oh yeah, and all Nader has to say about HRC in the CNN article is that political consultants "have really messed up Hillary Clinton's campaign."

1. Then why doesn't he attempt to advise Obama
Instead of running against him?

2. Because he's an overwhelming narcissist who can't stand not
to be in the limelight.

4. Pretty much all agreed here. He's an egotist . He'll run in 2012, too, and as long as he lives.
He's the Harold Stassen of our era, but he has done far more harm.

7. He, Nader, won't actually run against Obama unless
Obama is the Democratic Nominee. A bit premature with that conclusion since we have a couple more months for the Democratic primaries to secure their Candidate.

Remember, Bill Clinton didn't win his Nomination until June.
