2. Dupe post

I like Nader, he came down and spoke at Occupy Freedom Plaza, heck of a nice guy.

3. There is no conspiracy here

Nevada's changes and party responses have disrupted the filing dates all over the country. Legal regulations of elections are left to the states because local election needs are not uniform across the country. And states must be able to adopt local processes for special elections.

Guess he can go back to bitching about the size of his dividend at Cisco shareholder meetings.

9. Ralph is just slightly off-beat and misunderstood....

"...Cornel West and Chris Hedges (both professors at Princeton), have pretty much thrown themselves into Occupy, one sign that the progressive scene is more interested in grassroots protest than in an immediate challenge to Obama."

....maybe, but Obama is still like a zero in a number; a place holder until something of value gets there....
