Why do you think Ralph Nader is trying to work within the "two-party duopoly" now?

1. because not enough people will pay attention to his third party approach now

2. ...He is?

...Last I heard, he was just pining for potential Democratic leaders to step up and give Obama a primary challenge, probably because he believes Obama hasn't been sufficiently progressive/hasn't fought strong enough for progressive interests. It doesn't seem to contradict his long-standing beliefs on the two-party system. If anything, it kind of buttresses them, doesn't it? He's saying Obama is too much of the same.

3. Why is he encouraging a primary challenge rather than a third-party run?

4. Because he and any party he was affiliated with had to spend buckets of money

to fight off ballot access challenges from the Democratic Party. Even though the majority (if not all) of those challenges were dismissed, too much money was being diverted from campaigning to legal fees.

6. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

7. I would be interested in what your thoughts are. Rather than throwing out hand grenades,

how about your opinion.
