I wonder if Kerry will go ahead and blame the system and Ralph Nader for his loss in 2004? :D

Quote:onsumer advocate Ralph Nader (news - web sites) announced Sunday he will run again for the presidency, declaring that Washington has become "corporate occupied territory" and arguing there is too little difference between the Democratic and Republican parties.
"This country has more problems and injustices than it deserves," Nader said, bemoaning a "democracy gap." Nader, who turns 70 this week, said he wants to "challenge this two-party duopoly."
"There's too much power and wealth in too few hands," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"Washington is now corporate occupied territory," Nader said. "There is now a for-sale sign on most agencies and departments. ... Basically, it's question of both parties flunking."

This time you repubs can't blame the Democrats for everything you get this country into.
I'll not stand for it.

I think the dream ticket for the Demos this year would be a Nader/Sharpton ticket. A sure - fire winner, at least in the way Demos calculate winning.

Best political news I've heard in a while. Maybe the Green Party can throw another name into the ring and eat up a little more of that Liberal vote.
