We need you. Get in the race now because the good guys on the Democratic side have dropped out. Obama has already been manipulated and it will get worse if he is elected. Senator Clinton changes with the wind and opportunity is her middle name.

Obama is the future president of the united states and this isnt even about Obama anyway!!! besisde the point Ralph nader should stay off the ballots becuase if he didnt run in 2000 we would not have to deal with the problems of the presidency of Bush. i agreee with babette duke!!!

I ,as many americans can truly appreciate and identify with Ralph Nader's disgust with corporate america. I respect the principles on which he ran but becouse I am not unrealistic, I did not waste my vote on him. He needs a huge wake up call, a reality check. Sometimes you have to be bigger than your cause.
It was not so long ago that in this country women were not allowed to vote, that african americans were not allowed to vote...and today in this 2008 election we have both a black man and a woman as viable cadidates, with a real chance to be elected. This is something every american can be proud of and the message that we are sending to the world speaks volumes.
I am sure that a man as intelegent as Ralph Nader can see that he would have a more positive influence on the country, the world and the future if instead of yet another bid for the presidency, another also ran he would actually stand up and endorse a candidate who can actually win. For the greater good be realistic Ralph.
It's not going to happen for you, not now perhaps not ever. Though it does seem our country is headed in that direction, but we are not there yet. I am sure Ralph would not want all his humanitarian work to be overshadowed by aiding in the demise of our country and our world....

Keep blaming Gore's lose because of Nader. Never mind the fact Gore LOST his home state and his presidents! Never mind that More Dems Voted for Bush than Gore. And what was the platform differance that Gore was running than Bush... Find another Scape Goats you blind sheep!

The latter group though... shame on you all. Half of "us" didn't vote, which means a good percentage of "you" didn't either. So stop with the theatrics and put your vote where your mouth is.

You probably don't even know the voting history of your "team" or their platform; worse, you probably don't care.

Who voted FOR the war? Who voted FOR the Patriot Act? Who voted FOR "No child left behind?" NAFTA? CAFTA? To block perfectly rightful impeachment proceedings against the Vice President?

Why did they do that, and why shouldn't they vote in like fashion and sentiment again when wielding the line item veto magic marker?
Is or is not history a good indication of the future?

Gore hardly moved on his champion issues while V.P. and was cited by many for making surprisingly few references to the environment while campaigning so perhaps we would not have "solved" climate change even had he been elected.
Maybes abound.

But all you can do is make asinine statements totally lacking in logic regarding whether Nader should be running.
Well why should Obama? He's too young and inexperienced.
Why should Hillary? She's riding her husband's coattails. This isn't India.
Why should McCain? He's too old and shellshocked.
Why should Romney? He was just lucky to get elected gov. of MA

Wow, this not thinking thing is pretty easy! And we're heading straight into the loo if this is any indication of the voting public's brainwidth.

GOOGLE IT AND YOU WILL SEE.

HE KNOWS NADER REALLY LOVES HIM

(Wish I had been clever enough to think of it before you did)

How about an exploratory committee to run in IRAQ?

You caused this mess!

2. If you don't like Nader, than just don't vote for him!

Is there an antibiotic for the electorate, or has the Nadervirus mutated beyond it?

Nader makes me want to Ralph, even more than Hillary or McCain! Where's a bucket?

Nader won't be a factor. He never was a viable candidate and never will be. All of his votes will come from contrarians who probably wouldn't have voted anyway. Worst case scenario is that undecided voters will cast votes for whoever they interpret to be the lesser of two evils (between the Republican and the Democrat), but no one will waste a vote on him. He won't even find support amongst Dems who hate Hillary and conservatives who hate McCain if they manage to walk away with their nominations. Enjoy your once-every-four-years 15 minutes of fame Ralph, and thanks for wasting our time.

The only time Nader gets involved is when it looks like we might actually be able to move our country forward and get it on its feet. Whenever the democrats start making progress the spoiler jumps in to try keep the U.S. under the republican thumb. I do wonder if he didn't just recently get a big contribution from the right wing. They kept funding him against Al Gore when Gore looked like a shoe in and the country lost.

PS.. dont listen to the nay sayers, Nader.. you never know what the outcome is.. some dont pay attention to this randy political crap.. they work for a living... the final say will be the voting day.

And what if he were elected (which he never will be), what then? Would any leaders take him seriously? would he enjoy any cooperation from the House or the Senate? No. He would have effectively alienated democrats and republicans, engendered widespread resentment throughout the country, and serious instability throughout the world. All one needs to do is consider his prior and ongoing poor judgement in running for office, and you can see why the world would cringe in horror at the thought of President Nader. One of humanity's greatest gifts is our ability to learn and apply past experiences to our present actions - whether you agree with Nader's bitter and cynical views on the democratic candidates or not, please learn from the past (apparently, Nader will not) and ignore this sad, sad man.

His entry into the race will not result in greater discourse, or improved dialogue about Nader's issues - it will certainly not result in a Nader presidency - what it will do, however, is possibly provide a slim margin for a GOP victory and another republican white house. So what, you say? There is no difference between the parties or candidates? This is patently false, and you need only consider the tremendous damage done by the Bush administration to our world, our country, our environment, our economy, our educational system, our rights and civil liberties, and the list goes on!

Nader, if you're reading this, do the right thing; if you really do want to make a meaningful contribution to the national dialogue, do so without running for president - use your media draw to challenge the candidates to address your concerns, mobilize supporters to educate and inform the electorate, and work collaboratively with those who share your concerns to make tangible changes (e.g. not just through the election, at which point you will disappear again until the next election...)
