HE'S BAAAACK! - A POLITICS1 EXCLUSIVE - If anyone has doubts about Ralph Nader's plans for 2004, his new website should erase those doubts. Yup, it appears Nader will make a fourth run for President in 2004. The site -- which was registered October 24 by the folks at VoteNader.org (his official 2000 campaign site) -- went online this week in a very nascent form. The site also carries a disclaimer stating it was paid for by the "Nader 2004 Presidential Exploratory Committee, Inc." of Washington, DC. The committee is so new that it is not yet registered with the FEC. However, the committee does not need to register until it raises or spends at least $5,000. One Naderite reader -- who received a mailed notice from the committee last week -- said the note implied Nader planned to run again. Interestingly, the note gave the impression Nader was possibly looking to run this time as an Independent instead of a Green. Nader -- the former two-time Green Party nominee -- is a registered Independent. If he wants it, Nader remains the perceived frontrunner for the Green nomination next year.

Nader is the Dems Perot.

I thought Buchanan was the main guy for the independents. Maybe he can be Nader's runing mate.

Great Pic. Thanks for the laugh.

You are way too kind, thank you. But think of the pain millions of liberals will be feeling with this stark dilemma shortly before the nice man in the white coat takes them to a quiet place. BTW, former bulldog owner. Geez, they are beautiful.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL...I am sure the Dems will find a way to vote for both.

Just tonight I heard on Brits show that Howard Dean is planning on bussing people in from different states for the primaries.

They said that could possibly land him in prison for a year if convicted.

"I'll be turning in tonight in a good mood -- dead Baathists, soaring Dow, and now this. Merry Christmas."


Yeah, now my wife wants to know why I am laughing my ass off all by myself.

"They said that could possibly land him in prison for a year if convicted."

That won't hurt him with his constituency.

Think I'll wander over to DU and see if they've heard the news yet. :-D

I think you would get a kick out of the first response to this story on the DUmmies site.

[Pukin Dog]

Oh, they got it alright. LOL!

Comrade Dean for the Democrats (most likely), Nutty Nader for the Greens, Kookcinich has the Natural Law endorsement...

...all Bush needs now is for Al Sharpton to run as an independent and he can go on cruise control!

[CurlyDave]

Pat Paulson may be a little tougher to arrange than Nader ... as he died six years ago.

I bet he still votes though...

[speedy]

I do it all the time on this site. It keeps us young!!

[kayak]

For crying out loud, they're (The RAT PARTY) is going to have every kook, nut, oddball and flake running before we know it.

With very rare exceptions (such as Zell Miller), they have no choice but to have kooks, nuts, oddballs, and flakes run. That pretty much defines their party these days.

[vladog]

This is great! The twits on DU will be gnawing on their pacifiers. I just love it!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Oh, my goodness! They're threatening bodily harm, like broken kneecaps and stuff! I though liberals were nice, reasonable, peaceful people! /sarcasm
