1. Good Luck!
Ralph has become the ruin of everything that he once stood for... and it isn't pretty.

2. If Ralph really truly cared about America he would
drop out after the 2nd debate, which would give people time to realize he's no longer in the race. If he waits too long, his name will still be on the ballot and people will vote for him anyway. I think Ralph has shown just where his interests really are - Ralph.

3. You can't seriously believe Ralph will drop out, do you?
There is no way I can credit him with anything more than ego-driven decision making. I could no more believe he would drop out than I would believe that Bush would...

4. Don't hold your breath. His Repug puppet masters won't let him.
Poor Ralph, going from supposed supporter of the little guy to tool of the corporatists. He gets his jollies from being "powerful". Too bad his only power is to be a spoiler helping the far right.

He will join Zell Miller in the Pantheon of foolish traitors.

5. N/S
I was hoping the same thing. But it's not going to happen. He's just an asshole.

6. A friend from work noticed something, it's maybe why he's running.
He told me every time he sees Nader being interviewed on TV, Nader brings out this new book he's selling.

8. Nader needs to drop out
I am also hoping that Nader will drop out of the race. He is not on some key swing state ballots. All Nader is doing is hurting his legacy as a leader for the consumer protection movement. Instead of being remember as a leader in the fight for consumers and the environment, Nader is going to be known as being a tool or pawn of the GOP and Bush.

I still loved it when Michael Moore and Bill Mahr both got down on their knees to beg Nader to drop out a while back.

10. Nader's got no traction at all
He's been challenged off the ballot in a number of states. He's nothing like what he was last time around. I wouldn't waste my energy getting excited about him.

11. Nader has been neutered by Kerry's strong showing in the first debate.
Edited on Sat Oct-02-04 03:42 PM by Borgnine
He's now even more sad and pathetic than he was before.
