Well Ray, I saw Nader on MTP yesterday. Here are my thoughts on the matter. - current coverage on the Nader candidacy is very negative. On MTP they played the entire webcast of "Ralph Don't Run" for example. Most journalists are openly calling him a spoiler - Nader makes some good points about corporate ownership of washington as a campaign platform - Nader openly advocates impeachment of Bush over Iraq - Nader's key theme in the race seems to be jobs/healthcare. - He makes some generalizations about how democrats and republicans are the same "corporate owned" government, however, his primary target is clearly Bush and NOT the democrats. After hearing Nader on MTP, I now believe his candidacy is actually a PLUS for the anti-bush crowd. He doesn't have enough money or support to go far enough to really be a spoiler, and his direct confrontation of primarily the Bush record is more anti-Bush press. Nader called Bush a corporation masquerading as a human being on national television. This in addition to his open advocation of impeachment has to be damaging to Bush, at least a little.
