washingtonpost.com;" Ralph Nader yesterday accepted the Reform Party's nomination for president, and the ballot lines in seven states, including Florida and Michigan, that come with it. This is just to prevent any more court litigation with our brothers and sisters in the Democratic Party," O'Hara said, alluding to legal squabbles in several states where Democrats fear Nader will siphon votes from their nominee, Sen. John F. Kerry Nader spokesman Kevin B. Zeese sees it differently. "It's actually surprising how much Ralph and the Reform Party agree on," he said, citing electoral reform, ending corporate welfare, and opposition to the Iraq war as examples. Republicans, who think Nader's presence in the race helps President Bush, have gathered signatures for his petitions to get on the ballot in states such as Michigan, where officials refused to recognize his Reform Party endorsement. Nader is suing to reverse that decision. The Ballot Project Inc., a group of attorneys working to keep Nader off the ballot in numerous states, is considering asking the FEC to rule that the Reform Party is no longer a national party and should not be able to place Nader on the Nov. 2 ballot. Keep in mind, 80 out of 100 people did not vote for a Democrat or a Republican in the [primaries], so that is who we are appealing to," O'Hara said."
I had to go out and find a Ralph Nader post because I made a comment about him on one of my post, to a viewer. Just to let everyone know I am swinging in the wind as far as who I am voting for as of this time, in light of all that's been going on with the war and the swiftboat crap. So will gather different post on each person to get a collection of what's what with each of them and also, to open up my post to a wider view of posts and viewers.
