Ralph Nader, Meet Harold Stassen
Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 08:38PM It’s official: Ralph Nader has jumped the shark. In the past, there has at least been a semi-plausible rationale for his candidacy: big money interests (in his estimation) controlled both parties, the candidates weren’t particularly attractive to independent voters, reform wasn’t on the agenda, and so on. But with a likely
Obama-McCain match up, even the most disenfranchised misanthrope would have to concede that both candidates hold strong appeal to independent and reform minded voters, and this is anything but the typical presidential election. Four years ago, Nader’s announcement sent the Democratic Party into a tizzy (not wanting a repeat of 2000), but with his declaration today, Barack Obama barely batted an eye, and pretty much shrugged it off as inconsequential. And for good reason: it’s highly unlikely that Nader would surpass his paltry .3 percent of the vote from 2004. BTW, with today’s announcement, Ralph Nader is only four elections away from tying Harold Stassen’s record of nine failed bids at the White House. Good luck Ralph!

Nader will barely be a flicker on the radar (and only to Mike Huckabee, a non-factor himself). Perhaps Ralph should have worn a leather jacket for his shark jumping expedition . . .
It’s really a nice and helpful piece of information.
