Having just one more choice than Cuba, China, and North Korea is the ideal? It's distressing that that doesn't concern more people. Nader was not the only third party candidate on the ballot in Florida in 2000; is the argument that none of them should have the right to run? Unless you belong to the Democratic or Republican party, you can't run for president? That's the logical next step of the majority of the comments on here. And, sure, it's easy to scapegoat Nader--it's much easier to blame someone else when you lose. Gore should have wiped the floor with Bush; Kerry should have wiped the floor with him. Finally, anyone who has bothered to learn anything about Nader knows he doesn't do this to stroke his ego. To say so is pure ignorance which can be easily remedied by opening up a biography.

The exit polls showed this to be true Obama is getting most of the independent vote. Hillary is not getting much help from independent vote so this won't affect her as much, if she wins the nomination she has all her supporters not the independent vote. So Obama may be in trouble. This may have a whole different outcome of who is more electable. Even though it is probably to late for Hillary. If Nader would have come out earlier we may be looking at a whole new ball game. Alot were saying if Hillary won then all the independents would vote for McCain well looks like now they will vote for Nader.

Why do so many Americans harbor such uninformed, immature views of Ralph Nader? It doesn't take much to understand that citizens have the right to vote for whomever they feel ought to hold office. How dare anyone criticize others for that.

The Great, Gangling Nebbish is in the race, the man who handed the White House to George W. Bush and then later had the audacity to call for his impeachment. I certainly hope the people who voted for him in 2000 have the common sense to rethink that choice. Oh, wonderful.

Ralph Nader , who once had a voice that carried some significance is now a PATHETIC SHADOW of his former self. If CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS and ABC wants to do the rest of the world a favor.. IGNORE HIM!!! He is not worth the time PERIOD. He will have the same over all effect in this race as pouring a gallon of water would effect the height of an ocean ...NONE.

Nader's stance on the environment and his dedicated efforts on the behalf of American consumers, it's incredibly sad that his ego is such that he believes this race needs him. He helped George Bush in 2000 by taking votes away from Al Gore. Thanks a lot, Ralph. When you vote for a 3rd party (like R. Nader) you are only helping the party you like least (Bush in 2000 and now McCain, in 2008). If you really care for this county, Mr. Nader, please reconsider what you are doing. While I admire R.
