Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik, left, likely will make the ballot; Green nominee David Cobb’s odds are unclear.

Ralph Nader’s independent presidential campaign has some Democrats nervous about losing votes and the election.


WASHINGTON — In a development that could raise the anxiety level among Ohio Democrats, Ralph Nader’s campaign is planning to submit his candidacy petition today to place the independent presidential hopeful on the fall ballot.

About 10,000 signatures, double the valid number required, will be handed in this morning at the Ohio secretary of state’s office, a day ahead of Thursday’s filing deadline, said Julie Coyle, who co-chairs Nader’s Ohio campaign.

Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party also is expected to submit a petition today to put its presidential candidate, Michael Badnarik, on the ballot in Ohio, said Robert Butler, the party’s Ohio executive director.

Not sounding as confident are supporters of Green Party nominee David Cobb, who hope to file by the Thursday deadline. The independent campaign of Nader, the 2000 Green Party candidate, split the "progressive volunteer base," said Paul Dumouchelle, Ohio Green Party secretary. He added, "I just don’t know what we will have" in terms of the number of signatures.

At the same time, Trevas said party officials aren’t worried about a Nader candidacy in Ohio, a state considered vital for both Republican President Bush and Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry. Trevas said a "secret weapon" in Kerry’s bid to maintain the loyalty of "progressive voters" will be the support of Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland, a former presidential candidate and favorite of the party’s most liberal wing.

5. If he runs in Ohio, he really is on Bush's side. He didn't make CA

In CA, it wouldn't have mattered but he didn't even come close the the number of required signatures. If he runs in swing states, that should prove he's one of the bad guys.

2. He's on the ballot here in Delaware

3. Very likely in WI

He only needs 2000 signatures. He got 94,000 votes here in 2000 and Gore won the state by 5,000+. I personally know many 2000 Nader supporters that will vote Kerry and some 2000 Bush supporters that will vote Kerry. Hopefully, Kerry will take WI w/o any trouble.

From the article I read:
Not on in CA.
Not on in AZ.
Yes in MI.

4. Yes: West Virginia, Delaware No: Arizona, Indiana, Oklahoma, California

I'm sure I've missed some.

on edit: He is also on the ballot in: Arkansas, Nevada, New Jersey and South Dakota

6. Can anyone add more?

7. He will be on ballot in IA; MN and WI filing dates are in Sept.

In IA he submitted well over the 1,500 required signatures on Aug 12.
In MN, needs 2,000 signatures by September 14, 2004.
In WI, needs 2,000 signatures between August 1 and September 7, 2004.

I fully expect Nader to be on the ballot on all three of these important swing states. He could be a difference maker in any of them, but right now its Wisconsin that has me worried. Hopefully, Kerry campaign will make some inroads at fightingbob next month.
