Ralph Nader appears virtually certain to have qualified for Arizona's presidential election ballot.

The Nader campaign on Wednesday submitted 21,185 petition signatures, the Secretary of State's Office said, about 44 percent more than the 14,694 required to qualify him as an independent candidate in the Nov. 2 election.

The extra signatures should be enough to make up for any found invalid, election officials said.

Democrats, who stand to lose votes to Nader that otherwise might go to John Kerry, will sift through the petitions closely in the 10 days allowed for a challenge, state party Chairman Jim Pederson said. Any petitions circulated by a non-resident of the state could be invalidated, he said.

2. vote swap!!!

All you arizonians should get together to set up a vote swap site and see if you can't have the best of both worlds, 5% nationally for nader, with Kerry taking the electoral college votes.

It's a win-win
