It wasn't enough to give the Presidency to the President Dick Cheney in 2000; now Ralph Nader apparently hasn't felt that he got enough attention lately, so he's tossed his hat (his head?) in the ring again. OK, I'm anything but unbiased on this; look at James Fallows in the Atlantic Monthly.
So will Nader make any difference? I've been avoiding listening to any punditry on TV today (not easy...) but my thoughts are:
1. If Obama is nominated, Nader will make no difference at all. Obama is pushing forward; Nader is always fighting the last issues.
2. If Clinton is nominated, Nader won't make a difference. The people who will vote for Nader have so much ABC feeling (anyone but Clinton) and they won't vote for Clinton anyway.
My conclusion is that Nader is irrelevant, insignificant, and yesterday. Goodbye, Ralph...
