The ball game, it had to be the ball game," Nader muttered I would think the Nader delagates are not likely to be the most enthusiastic sports fans. Nader said that having to compete with Monday night's NCAA basketball championship game likely contributed to the low turnout at his event. There wasn't even a local connection to the game. As Abbey used to say. "It's time to wake up and smell the coffee". TP

You'd think some hardcore GOPwingers would be gathering signatures for him--lol! Except for those very close to him, the GOPwingers are probably the only support he has for getting on the ballot. Nader's presence doesn't hurt Kerry, however--especially if he can't gather sufficient signatures. As the more the nation sees of Nader the more it becomes realized that Kerry's not so far to the left. In a general election, during this day and age, that could be helpful.

Dems are getting smarter. Fool me once.... Hey, have we invaded Somalia or Britain yet? From November 2001: "The US vice-president, Dick Cheney, warned yesterday that after the Afghanistan campaign is over, America could use military action in a second wave of attacks directed against states which harbour terrorists. Mr Cheney said that up to 50 states could be targeted for a range of action, from financial and diplomatic to military, on the grounds that they had al-Qaida networks operating there. Somalia, the east African country which is a haven for al-Qaida supporters, would be high on any US list of targets, alongside Iraq. Planners in Washington and London are considering the next steps. The ease with which Kabul has fallen has encouraged hawks within the US administration who are keen to extend military action, particularly against Iraq.... The US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, asked the Pentagon to come up with post-Afghanistan options in which they were to think the unthinkable. The resulting general command papers were reported to have been dismissed by Mr Rumsfeld for not being radical enough. As yet, no specific military target outside Afghanistan has been agreed. That would change overnight if Osama bin Laden were to turn up in a country with close ties to al-Qaida, such as Somalia... Mr Rumsfeld has described as significant meetings in Prague between Mohammed Atta, a suspected leader of the September 11 hijackers, and an Iraqi intelligence official. However, a firm connection between al-Qaida and Iraq has proved elusive. Indeed, Bin Laden's people have fewer footholds in Iraq than they do in Britain...." guardian.co.uk
