[Langis]

1. Nope

[rsmith6621]

3. Who Is....??????

Ralph Nader.........Ive never heard of him b4:)

[StopTheMorans]

2. No, he doesn't need to be

his ego is so huge that he can just debate himself; why would anyone else even need to be there :evilgrin:

[Walt Starr]

4. Nope, he has absolutely no realistic chance of winning

Ijn order to be included in the debates, a candidate needs to at the very lkeast, be on enough ballots to take the requisite 270 electoral votes to win.

Nader isn't on enough ballots to mathematically win.

5. He's not getting much camera time lately, is he?

I think it's a trend.

i don't want to see an end to third party politics though, it may be useful in the future.

[Rambis]

7. No one does, I just want to see an end to Ralph!

I thought Anderson added something to the 1980 elections and I think Ross Perot added something to the debate when he ran. I thought he was a nut but he warned against the giant sucking sound of NAFTA. There is a time and a place for experimentation with a third party but this isn't the time or the place.

12. Yeah...I wish Ralph would drop the presidental aspirations....

...And do what he does best: Consumer activism.

Like Robert Kennedy Jr, he could make a difference in the world, instead of spinning his political wheels.

[Zero Gravitas]

6. Why should he?

THe Republicans can't have two people in the same debate.

[oasis]

8. Hell no.

[Gman]

9. Who is "Nader" What's he running for?

[beyurslf]

10. Why would he be included?

[ClintonTyree]

11. Cripe....................

I've been around DU so long I can remember when Ralph Nader was defended on this very site. I don't have a high post count, but I remember people sticking up for St. Ralph many moons ago. God, I'm getting old.;(
