Nader Campaign Says It Qualifies for Funds

By SAM HANANEL, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader raised about
$600,000 in the two months since he announced his candidacy, enough money to qualify for federal matching funds and well ahead of the fund-raising pace he set four years ago, his campaign announced Wednesday.

2. Sorta makes sense though.
You got $120MM.

Do you invest it in Bush ads that are going nowhere? Or, do you build up a left-of-Kerry candidate to drain votes from his campaign?

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

3. Nonsense

More nonsense by right-wing Democracts who hate Nader more than Bush.

5. Wouldn't quite say that
More like Bush sucks but has a number of supporters relatively similar to his number of opponents. Nader is an ego with limbs who steals votes from ideological allies for no good end.

Dislike Bush more, but at least Bush is in it to win it. Nader serves little to no purpose at this point other than enabling the Boy King. On policy, I'd say most of us are closer to Nader. But that doesn't mean what he's doing is either helpful or intelligent. If Roy Moore enters the race, Nader's presence won't be so shunned. Until then, he's splitting what absolutely NEEDS to be a united front.

6. So I should be a cool kid and support Nader, enabling Bush to win?
No thanks.
