Good lord, I hope Nader runs. The left wing of the Democratic party is just stupid enough to fall for that again.

Go Nader. I think McCain would make a great president.

"The left wing of the Democratic party is just stupid enough to fall for that again."

Stupid? Stupid?!! We are not stupid!!! We know exactly what we are doing. We need someone who will FIGHT for us, now that John Edwards is gone! Fight fight fight, because that is what the presidency is supposed to be about, FIGHTING for the little guy!

Specifically, we need to fight against corporations, because corporations are evil, EVIL I tell you! Did you see "Austin Powers"? Remember how Dr. Evil had a corporation? See!! Also, Dick Cheney used to run a corporation. Need I say more, really?! Who's stupid now, huh?!

I wonder whom a Nader candidacy would sabotage more - Obama or Hillary? I'd say Hillary, as she is the more "centrist."
