1. OH NO!
I loved him. He was the best thing about those awful debates when Schwarzenegger was runnning. Very smart and very entertaining.

3. Yes I heard about that as well.
He was also the presidential candidate of the Socialist Workers Party in the 1970s and got that party's highest vote total ever (like 90,000ish votes).

6. That's too bad
I like the Green movement. It's a shame there's no room for it in American politics.

And Nader was the WRONG cheerleader for the Greens.

I hope his Peter's legacy lives on.
