Is Nader Running? One Can Only Hope



Nader Will Announce 2004 Presidential Bid Plans This Sunday: All signs point to yes. Surely he won't go on TV just to say no. It's interesting that this news item refers to Nader as an egomaniac just before saying that DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe pretty much groveled to convince him to stay out. That wouldcertainlyappeal to an overblown ego. Nader will be without a party, making fundraising and getting on the ballot in all fifty states tough, but this is still bad news for Democrats. Nader has a loyal following, and I'll bet many Dean refugees will jump into his corner.
