What government position could Nader run for and WIN?
And if there is such a position, why isn't he there?

1. Nothing, he has never been elected, he is a lawyer and lobbyist

3. Interesting what'd happen if he tried it from the inside, instead of the outside-in.
He has a lot to say about what others should do to get elected, and what they should do after they're elected.

10. I believe he is like Jesse Jackson
He only runs for president to gain a higher public profile and publicity. This keeps him from fading away like he should have faded away 20 years ago. I'm convinced he is a megalomaniac who listens to no one--if he truly cared about our country he would have withdrawn in 2000 and let Gore win a decisive victory.

We don't need another megalomaniac in office anywhere. He plays the far left of our party like a fiddle for his own personal gain.

6. Collar safety? Fighting the "Alpha Male" establishment? Respecting the Inner Wolf?

5. Not even dogcatcher. Not even flyswatter. Maybe roto rooter.

7. No elected post.
I think he'd be useful as an advisor and consultant on consumer and environmental matters, but not running for office in any capacity.
