Ralph Nader is getting his revenge for the unprecedented effort Democrats are making to kick him off state ballots by challenging his petition signatures. Mr. Nader says the floundering Kerry campaign is "not laying a glove" on the "most vulnerable Republican administration of modern times."

Mr. Nader told the Baltimore Sun yesterday that the consultant-heavy Kerry campaign is not letting the candidate think for himself. "You lose your identity after a while, and that is very easily perceived by people. Wavering, flip-flops -- all that stuff -- is very perceived." He also warned that unless something is done, Mr. Kerry will be "an anchor" that will sink the candidacies of many promising progressive candidates for Congress.

Meanwhile, some good news finally arrived at Nader headquarters yesterday. He won ballot status in New Mexico, a key swing state. And in Oregon, a state judge ordered his name be placed on the ballot saying that the Democratic secretary of state had made inconsistent rulings on which independent candidates should have qualified. But when asked what the best news he's gotten in the campaign lately has been, Mr. Nader said it is the knowledge that the Democratic ticket has made so many mistakes that few people are likely to blame him again for electing George W. Bush.
