Nader Pushes For New Democratic Candidate
Newsmax ^ | Sept 15, 2011 | Amy Woods

Consumer advocate and progressive liberal Ralph Nader said Thursday he will send a letter to a targeted group of 40 former university presidents, retired congressmen, progressive business leaders and civic activists and ask them to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012.

“The pitch is this: Look, take six months off from your routine, form a slate, challenge Obama in the primaries,” Nader said on Fox News.

The letter will go out in “a few days,” he said.

Ron Paul isn’t busy with anything important.

I don’t want a primary for Obama. I want to clobber OBAMA. But obviously if they’re rumbling so much this far out, they’re going to end up with a new candidate. Carville doubled down today, Nader. Obama is toast.

The left always blames "the person" when their agenda fails. It doesn't matter who they put in place, they WILL FAIL!

Ed Asner once said that communism would work if it was implemented by the right person. They double down on stupid at every chance.

I suggest Donald Trump. Not quite what Nader would want, but I’d love to see The Donald whack Obama around for a while without the distractions of having to even put on more than a token “campaign”.

I'm with Ralph Nader on this one...

A dem civic activists or two should challenge Obama in 2012. Or maybe another 'community organizer' type with a rabidly insane racist minister to interview - - and a wife who hates American... Yum yummy....

Nader's right - dems should go for the gold.

Ralph needs to take matters into his own hands. Obama has abandoned the Green Party for more lucrative corporate interests.

Run, Ralph, run! Show them what standing up for principle really means!

Run, Ralph, run!
Run, Ralph, run!
Run, Ralph, run!

The idea is to split their vote - not ours.

I said at the time that Trump was floating the idea of running that he should run -- as a Democrat -- ensuring that he'd essentially get Obama in a 1-on-1 match in the primary. Best way to damage Obama without screwing up the GOP side.

Why bother with a primary ... just have nancy pelosi and the top dnc folks just select and install “their” candidate like they did the last time. “Their” primary is a joke.
Nope, it doesn’t matter who gets the most votes in Michigan, Florida, Nevada ... “their winner” will be whomever “they” wish it to be regardless of # of Votes. And oh yeh, don’t forget all those “mail-in” ballets and “dead, or near-dead voters.” THE CAUCUS FRAUD,etc, etc ... THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IS A FRAUD !!!!!

I’ve decided to quit picking on Ralph. After reading large excerpts from his latest book I’ve decided he is experiencing the onset of full-on dementia.
