Nader considering another try at White House in 2004

I wrote about what I think of a Nader 2004 run a while ago here.

Nader considering another try at White House in 2004

By Tom Squitieri
USA TODAY

WASHINGTON -- Ralph Nader, still blamed by many Democrats for draining critical votes from Al Gore in the 2000 race for the presidency, says he is seriously considering running in 2004.

His decision has the potential to vex Democrats who worry that he would divert some of their supporters and delight Republicans who think the same thing.

Nader says he has moved closer to a repeat run as the Green Party nominee after concluding that Democrats have no one who can defeat President Bush.

Full story...

I'm not clear if his logic there is that since no Democrat can defeat Bush, then he has to step in and do it, or if it's that since they can't beat him, then Ralph should take advantage of the chance to "go after him the way I could," as he puts it.

I think it would be a hoot if Nader ran as a Democratic candidate. Then he could go after all those Democrats, and if he did good enough, then he could go after Bush on a really big scale. That would actually be kinda cool. I think I'd actually prefer Nader over Bush if I had to choose -- though that's not really fair because like many people, I just want the country off this new track of warmongering and lost freedoms Bush has put us on. As far as I know, with possibly one exception, none of the other current contenders has a pack of neocons brewing up grand plans of global control. As to the lost freedoms, I don't much expect that any Democrat that got elected would be returning any freedoms anytime soon. Except maybe Kucinich, or Al Sharpton.

No one mentioned in this entry is going to get my vote no matter how it shakes down. I don't vote for Democrats or Republicans, and I'm not voting for Ralph Nader.
