Nader? I admire him, but remember I am the man who did my small part to enhance the chances of a Democratic win in the then swing state of Oregon by uncovering severe petitioner fraud as Republican money worked to get Ralph on the ballot by funding this effort.
Nader had had two mini convention that had failed to get a thousand signatures one night at one place as Oregon law allows, so reducing the available choices on the presidential ballot by one did not bother me.
The people and past strong supporters of Nader like me had spoken, and it was good to see a Republican gambit of divisiveness fail, and to be the whistle blower that made it fail.
I am not for Nader this time, I am for the best man running for president currently, Barack Obama.
