1. The group is playing hardball

But it is only fair that Nader play by the same rules as the Dems.

2. Hey, Louis --

You have to post a couple of paragraphs from the article or we'll have to remove it. Late Breaking News posts have to follow a certain format, since it's a news thread.

If you have any questions about this, the Rules page has the information. Any questions that don't get answered there, you can post at Ask The Administrators.

Thanks!

4. Glad to see you got this back up with a working link.

Hope you can get a couple of grafs pasted up there.
