His 2% only helps if the race is going to be very close. I'd happen to think there isn't that slim of a margin in the race to hurt Obama over lobbyist McCain.

Somehow I doubt that the people who voted for him in 2000 are going to vote for him again. I know I'm not.

It's nice to see that someone learned that lesson, even it wasn't good ol' Ralph.

exploitation of foreign workers? would these be US citizens working abroad or foreign nationals working domestically?
I personally support foreigners being paid nothing to work in the US as I see thousands of US workers trying to compete in a job market saturated with illegal aliens claiming they just want to make a better life for themselves... at the cost of the lively hood of many millions that are citizens

That's funny.
One of the Aldermen here in Milwaukee has been in prison for the last several years, and has been re-elected from his jail cell.
His constituents really love it.

I tend to agree with this statement. I was hoping he would have the sense not to run this time around however.

Sense? It's Ralph Nader.
Good sense is no match for his ego, which has go to be as big as Texas by now and shows no signs of diminishing in size at any point in the near future.

He used to justify it by saying he helped drive the Dems to the left. Unfortunately for him and the Dems the only candidates remaining have already driven off the cliff.

That's a good justification imo. I wish liberals could have the same hold on the Dems as religious extremists have on the GOP.

It could certainly be argued the electorate was well aware of the candidate being dead. His widow was promised the appointment if the dead guy won, so I think its safe to say he lost to the dead guy's wife in actuality
Still funny
Quote:
The incumbent Ashcroft was left running against a dead man after his opponent, the popular sitting governor, died in a plane crash on October 16. By that time, it was too late to remove Carnahan's name from the ballot.
No one had ever posthumously won election to the Senate, though voters on at least three occasions chose deceased candidates for the House.
Lt. Gov. Roger Wilson moved up to succeed Carnahan. Wilson said he would appoint Carnahan's widow, Jean, to the Senate seat should the deceased husband get more votes than Ashcroft.

Well considering we've been 20 years under Reagan, I think 'another 4 years of Bush' is someone being funny.
Don't take everything so literally...and you'll laugh more / live longer.
-------------------- 'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison
