BBC interviewer ripping Nader a new one..
If you have access to BBC World, they're running an interview with Four-Time-Loser Ralph... one of the best lines from the interviewer

"Here's an egomaniao standing for the Presidency with NO chance of winning"

1. Of course, the same could be said about Hillary at this point.

3. You could SAY it, but...
...that wouldn't make it so. It takes a Ralph Nader to "win" half a percentage point of the popular vote.

http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0226/p10s01-uspo.html

Nader got 2.7 percent of the vote in 2000, the analysts note, and only 0.37 percent in 2004 – less than half a percent.

4. Oh, I know Ralph isn't going to win, but I also know Hill isn't either at this point.
In fact, any candidate who racks up less votes than their opponent(s) loses.

Anyone who believes running for president is done by people without enormously large egos is kidding themselves. And I don't care who the candidate is.

5. Yeah, I agree that the presence of an ego is usually a given.
It's probably a necessity, too, at least to gather the necessary resilience.

7. Actually, here's an idiot commenting on a genius . . . !!!
First --- Gore won the election ---

Second --- the Supreme Court stole the election for Bush

Third --- the fascist rally outside of Miami-Dade Election HQs was never stopped by the police ---
and succeeded in stopping the vote recount which the Florida Supreme Court had ordered.

More than 3,000+ "butterfly" ballot votes went to Buchanan in Florida --
votes which were intended for Gore.

The supposed difference in the Florida vote was 537 votes ---

Wake up ---
