Where is Ralph?

Waldo Emerson:dead
The guy who blew the election for the Democrats in 2000:Running for President in 2008

Yes, Ralph Nader is running for President again, but no one really seems to care. In honor of the candidate that joined the Reform Party 4 years late(they had 72 million dollars to spend in 2000), I will occasionally be posting to let people know where the former spoiler is at the moment, even if the media continues to ignore him.

Last night, Ralph was in his hometown of Winsted, watching the debate with his supporters. Nader publicly responded to the debate this morning. His complete address can be seen here. In summary, Nader believed that there was plenty of room for him on the debate stage. He is upset that the two major party competitors decide who the nation can see on stage instead of himself. On last night's debate, Nader was upset that neither candidate mentioned a living wage. he believes this would help to push Americans out of poverty. Nader believed that softball questions were asked and the debates thus far have been more like "parallel interviews".

Nader than gave an emotional conclusion

"Who won? Who won?" It's WHAT won. WHAT lost. I think the people lost. And I think big business won. I think militarism won. I think corporate tax loopholes won. I think labor lost. I think consumers lost. I think people who have to pay to these credit card gougers, and these high gasoline prices and these high medical prices and drugs by companies that are subsidized by your tax dollars -- I think they lost. The people lost."

Competitor or not, Nader remains very entertaining and I will continue to follow him throughout his campaign.
