Nader To Run, But This Time He May Be Run-Of-The-Mill

[Purveyor]

--
This would be his third consecutive run for president, and most analysts believe that his returns will continue to diminish from his showing in 2000, when he won millions of votes that might have altered the outcome.

--
Yet experts say Nader's impact this year is likely to be limited.

"The truth is that Nader's time has passed," John Geer, a political scientist at Vanderbilt University, said Sunday.

As the candidate for the Green Party in 2000, Nader attracted just 2.7 percent of the vote nationwide.

--
"If Obama is the nominee in 2008, share may well decline below 0.3 percent," he said. "There is simply no room for Nader to run."

1. He may be more of a threat to the Republicans. There are those that will vote and don't want McCain

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. He already is a Republican. That's the only group financing him. nt

3. I am so not worried about the trollish ego maniac. I think he has marginalized himself

[JPZenger]

4. He refused to answer the question: Obama vs. McCain?

Today, Nader refused to answer the question: Would you rather see Obama or McCain as the President?

[Lindsey]

5. It could actually work in our favor. If people who lean towards the

Dems but were planning to not vote for whatever reason may figure they don't want to take any chances and go vote for the Dem...just a thought. I don't understant why Nader won't JUST. GO. AWAY???????????????????????
