He Will Run!!!!!!

He’s running! This past Sunday, on "Meet the Press" with Tim Russel, Nader announced that he would enter the race for president, the third time in eight years. Now there is much debate over whether or not Nader will make a big splash in the general election coming up in November in comparison to the 2000 election. Nader is unoubtedly the best candidate for the green party. The reason he’s runnign is, therefore, not to win but to push through green consumerist issues. For the past few weeks, votenader.org has posted a ‘contribute to the Nader campaign’ on one side of the webpage and the slogan fight “corporate greed, corporate power, corporate control.” Whether or not he expects to win is as arbitrary and it would be illinformed to assume that Nader will make little or no impact on the election. Quite the contrary; Nader meanwhile announcing his candidacy, criticized both the Democrats and Republicans for not addressing consumerist issues, labor rights, and corporate greed. Now it’s just a matter of how the votes will play out and if Nader once again is criticized as the ‘spoiler’.
