Nader to Enter Presidental Race

The Houston Chronicle has an article stating that Ralph Nader is launching his bid for a third-party campaign for president.

The consumer advocate made the announcement Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. He said most Americans are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties, and that none of the presidential contenders are addressing
ways to stem corporate crime and Pentagon waste and promote labor rights.

Nader also ran as a third-party candidate in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. He is still loathed by many Democrats who call him a spoiler and say his candidacy in 2000 cost the party the election by siphoning votes away from Al Gore in a razor-thin contest in Florida.
I say more power to him. In his last two Presidential bids, he took votes away from the Democrats. Perhaps that will also happen in 2008.

The good part is that Nader will take about 2-3% from the Dems like he does everytime he runs. They will bring out the big guns in order to keep him the ballots in as many states as possible. You've got to love strife in the Dem party.
