http://news.statesmanjournal.com/article.cfm?i=83181<snip>A wild card in the race is consumer activist Ralph Nader, who is trying to gain a spot on Oregon’s Nov. 2 ballot as an independent presidential contender.

With that thought in mind, two conservative groups with strong Republican ties urged their members to attend Nader’s June 26 convention in Portland to help get Nader on the ballot.
A Multnomah County Democratic Party official responded by asking Democrats to show up and not sign petitions for Nader, in hopes of thwarting the Nader effort.
