Nader blames Dean for his failure to get on ballot [View All]

[ECH1969]

Nader argues that Howard Dean -- the former Democratic presidential contender -- was a factor in the low turnout for the Nader mini-convention in April. Just hours before that event, Dean urged Oregon voters to ignore Nader and support Democrat John Kerry. The 70-year-old Nader said he hopes Dean won't try to interfere with his June 26 gathering.

"I thought what Howard Dean did was unnecessary extracurricular activity," Nader told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

"We hope he will not be casting negative aspersions on our effort to be on Oregon's ballot."

In an interview with The AP, Dean said he's not planning to weigh in again on Nader's upcoming Oregon event. But he said his message to Nader's supporters in Oregon hasn't changed: "You better vote for John Kerry, because otherwise we end up with four more years of George Bush," said the former Vermont governor, who has a strong following in Oregon. "This is not the year for a third party."
