Ralphie Nader: A Spoiler?

The race for the White House just got more interesting as Ralph Nader has decided to play the spoiler again.
Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will "shift the power from the few to the many."

Nader, 73, said most people are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties due to a prolonged Iraq war and a shaky economy. The consumer advocate also blamed tax and other corporate-friendly policies under the Bush administration that he said have left many lower- and middle-class people in debt.

Nader also ran as a third-party candidate in 2000 and 2004, and many Democrats still accuse him of costing Al Gore the 2000 election.

So the bottom line is if you want a Republican for President, Ralph has just made it more likely to occur, and if you want a Democrat, your chances just got more slim!! Way To Go Ralphie!!
