After the many hours of media coverage about cosmetics and swine that passes for political dialog these days, I thought a change of pace would be interesting.
For one thing, I didn't realize that Ralph Nader was running again! I used to admire Ralph for his tough and single-minded advocacy on behalf of consumers, but I'm one of those who will never forgive him for the damage he did in 2000, and his continued stubborn insistence that it wouldn't have made a difference whether Bush or Gore had won that election!
In any case I was reminded of him because he apparently appeared with Ron Paul on CNN today. I missed the interview, but according to this posting Ron Paul admitted that he would campaign for Nader because "it will take the votes away from Obama". I wonder what St.Ralph had to say about that ...

If Nader were to hand over Florida or another battleground state to McPalin, then there will be no forgiving this time around from the Democratic base. As much as I used to admire him, the problem is that he surfaces every four years to rant against the two party system. What has he been doing in between?
