Daily Ralph Nader Update:Hummus for Cash!

While Obama asks for money via e-mail by whining about how much McCain is lying, and McCain sends letters to Democrats calling them longtime Republican Supporters, Ralph Nader finds more interesting ways to ask people for money.

On Yom Kipur, Nader has offered to mail supporters his mother's recipe for Hummus.

He released the following statement today:

I've had a lot of hummus. Hummus is nutritious. And delicious. It makes you stronger and healthier. So, Bloomberg's report on the Lebanese claim to hummus got me to thinking about an idea that would help us raise funds to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics. If you donate to Nader/Gonazlez by midnight tonight an amount that has the number three in it (three being the number of lemons in my mom's hummus recipe), we'll e-mail to you Rose Nader's hummus recipe tomorrow.”

In other news, Nader has accomplished something McCain failed to. Pick a minority VP candidate that the media does not destroy. The fact that no one cares about Nader or his campaign helped him in accomplishing this feat. Neither Ralph Nader or his VP candidate Matt Gonzalez have commented on this to date.
