Okay, it's official. My suspicion is that Nader sees a woman and a black man running on the Democratic ticket, and a restless and dissatisfied nation that wants real change, and he's thinking this is his best chance ever. While I agree, it's still an uphill battle. Too many people vote straight ticket, and our nation is far too conservative and pro-corporation to elect a person who has no ties to big business (and this no real campaign budget) or special interest. He's not polished like slick politicians, and while I detest that "slickness", too many people expect and want it in their representative.
Nader has always been called the "consumer's advocate", and right we need that so tremendously much. I would ask that people read his open letter to George Bush here:

And here's where he pokes Obama and Clinton a little bit as well:

It's good stuff, folks. If you think we're in charge of our country, you haven't been paying attention. Now is your chance to get a little of that power back. Do it. There might not be another chance for a very long time.
