Fegotard: A fucking egotistical retard.
Yes, I made that word up. It applies.
This is Nader's fifth run (at least) for president, not his third, as the MSM claims. In 1992, he ran a write-in campaign for some of the primaries. He ran in 1996 and received 1% of the popular vote. In 2000, he received about 2.7% and tipped the election to Chimpy the Torturer. In 2004, most people were fed up with Nader's ego-trips and he received 0.3% of the vote.
It should be clear to the most casual observer that Ralph Nader's candidacy has more to do with a combination of stroking his massive sense of self-importance and his descent into batshit insanity. Unless he runs for president, nobody pays any attention to him anymore, and that has to be extremely galling to him.
Nader's campaign is about one step above someone standing alongside the highway with a sign that says "will run for president for food." Those who are considering voting for Nader as a form of protest should consider self-immolation, for all of the change either form of protest will bring about.

It is worth, perhaps. to consider Hillary's reaction to Nader's running and compare it to Obama's. She was negative about it. He was not.

Gug,
That makes sense. The polling is probably such that between Clinton and McCain, it will be a tight race and every vote will be important. If Nader sucks a half-percent away from Clinton, it could be a game-tipper.
Obama, on the other hand, is poised to blow McCain out of the water, so even if Nader takes several hundred thousand votes away, it won't mean squat to Obama.
Fegotard! That's a great word!
Feel free to steal it. :)
