So, Nader is running again.

Any chance Eddie supports him again instead of selling out to the Democratic political machine like '04?

Isn't Nader getting a little too old to be running for office? He would be 75 to 79 years old for his first term if he stood a chance in hell.

He said that he would only run, if Clinton won the Democratic nod- so it's not 100% that he's running.

WASHINGTON — Former presidential hopeful Ralph Nader might consider jumping into the 2008 race if Sen. Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic Party nomination.

"She's just another bad version of (former President) Bill Clinton,'' Nader told KGO radio host Ronn Owens in San Francisco while on a book tour, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Nader has recently said he'll consider making a bid for the White House later this year.

"We're going to see what the Democrats come up with," he said.

Nader said Clinton, a Democratic front-runner for the White House, has "no political fortitude."

"Flatters, panders, coasting, front-runner, looking for a coronation, not taking on the huge waste in the military budget as a member of the armed services commission, never going after the corporate crimes against pensions, against workers. ... She has no political fortitude.''

The latest FOX News poll shows that 76 percent voters said they would never vote for Nader, while 44 percent said they would never cast a vote for Clinton.

Nader made an unsuccessful bid for president as the Green Party candidate in 2000, gaining more than 2.7 percent of the national popular vote. He gained less than one-half of 1 percent during a second run in 2004.

On another Democratic front-runner, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, Nader said he hasn't done much in the two years he has been in the Senate.

Obama "has capacity ... whether he gets specific in his proposals, that's what a lot of people are waiting for,'' Nader said. "He hasn't shown that much political fortitude ... in his two years in the Senate.''

The guy who is going to win will be 71 to 75. Not much of a stretch.

So essentially, Ralph Nader thinks Hillary Clinton is a bitch, and would be cooler with McCain in power. He's not sure about Obama yet but wouldn't mind giving him a chance to prove himself..

I think McCain is getting up there as well. I don't think a republican will win unless they go up against Hillary. We'll see.

Mccain would be like the Bush administration all over again!! If he wins, I am moving to Canada or London.

Why is Nader going to do this now?? I have no beef with the guy, but why would you enter the race so late? There is no chance he would win, coming in at the last minute.

Junior Senators are not typically all that successful at first. Comes down to the same old same old or someone new and aggressive. I'll agree Obama needs to start pushing SPECIFIC agendas besides CHANGE (although that alone sounds good)...but go Obama!!!

I'm hoping Nader stays clear...philosophically I understand his views, but dammit the old guard needs to get pushed out and this Country needs new direction. Unfortunately Nader will accomplish nothing and I don't want a repeat of '04. Ed will be behind Obama...my thought anyway.

Hillary or McCain means another 4 years of spiraling downward.

John McCain has a snowball's chance in hell vs either Barack or Hillary. George W. Bush has single handedly taken down the GOP!

Ralph Nader needs to start seeing the bigger picture and be more constructive...rather than throwing darts at the next President.

It isn't late...we're not even through Super Tuesday yet. Regardless of who grabs the Dem and Rep nods, I'd love to see Nader run Green and Paul run Libertarian. Could be interesting...

If we wind up with Romney v. Clinton, I would agree with you completely.

I like Ron Paul, but I am going with Obama since he has a better chance, plus I do like his views as well. We DEF. need change

Yeah...I'm definitely behind Ron Paul, but would probably vote for Obama if he gets the nomination and Paul doesn't run 3rd party.

The Republicans hope so.

In essence, one more vote for them.

Uh, McCain will kick Hillary's ass. Nobody likes her. Not even the Democrats. It will be a (figurative) bloodbath.

Plus, McCain is barely a Republican anyway.

Kilgore_Trout

we cant afford him running and fuckin things up again... especially in an election where no one is particularly likeable... his chances are better in that respect but he still wont realistically win, so itd just be taking away democrat votes...

homeratbat

i never understood why people support nader so much! if you dont like the state our country is in? look to nader! im all for a 3rd party canidate that supplies a real option but nader is just there to be there!

if you want "100 years of war" then you should know who to vote for if not then you also know
