A little good news, sort of, kinda, almost...
St. Ralph won't run Green - but hasn't said he won't run at all...
Ralph Nader, the third-party candidate viewed by many Democrats as the spoiler of the 2000 election for taking votes away from Al Gore, has decided not to run on the Green Party ticket next year, a party spokesman said Tuesday.
The good news is that even if Nader decides to run independent, he probably won't have the resources to get on the ballot in all 50 states.
Now if we can coax Buchanan or Perot into the race....

How about if we could entice McCain to run as an independant. I think this would take a lot of conservative votes away from satan... uh... I mean GWB while allowing all the "whacko's" to vote for him. Hopefully it wouldn't take too many away from whomever the Democrats run (Dean/Clark).
I know it wouldn't happen, but some co-workers and I were discussing it, and we think it would be positive for us if it did happen.

I think McCain is probably done messing with the Bush Clan - at least on an electoral level.
McCain probably figures he can do more damage to Bush in a legislative role.

Yeah, McCain raised money for Bush already...Buchanan doesn't like being on the road all the time....let's hear it for Newt in 04!

I have an ongoing argument with fellow Clinton supporters who say that Perot drew DEMOCRAT voters and not REPUBLICAN. They claim Perot did NOT help Clinton in his elections. I'm certain Perot took votes away from budget-conscious true believing Republicans, and very few Democrats crossed to vote for Perot.
But this post confirms my side. Which is it?
Later,

I don't understand why everybody blames the candidate (Nader in this case). If Nader doesn't run for president as a Green, I presume somebody else will. And if they get on my state's ballot, I'll vote for them. I feel ignored and neglected -- BLAME ME, damn it.
