Where has Nader been in the past week?

I apologize for the week off. A combination of sickness, a quarter deadline, and college apps, has sidelined me from the blog for a week, but I am back and ready to inform all of my loyal readers(wherever they are) about what our favorite presidential candidate has been up to.

Today, Ralph Nader is campaigning in Oregon where he will talk about the economy. In Washington, Ralph Nader's name was misspelled Ralph Nadar. This is the first time Nader was involved in something interesting enough for the media to care about his campaign, or so I thought. Nader will appear on NBC nightly news and will discuss his campaign in front of mainstream America. I will try to find the interview on you tube and post it here tomorrow.

Last Friday in Buffalo Nader stated that legislation needs to regulate the ""corporate crooks" and offer "jail time, not bail time."

Palin's SNL Appearance/ McCain Letterman Interview

As predicted last week, Sarah Palin did appear on SNL, but did nothing to help her image. She made two short appearances, neither in which she played a large role. In one, Palin danced as a rap song was performed making fun of her. She looked helpless as the jokes continued with her on air.

Also, if one were for some reason reading my comments from a classmate's blog, I predicted that John McCain's interview with David Letterman would be his toughest to date. It did indeed wind up being a challenging interview. Letterman was upset that McCain missed his first appearance on the show when he suspended his campaign, and had seemed to be an Obama supporter when he interviewed the Democratic candidate. Letterman was able to paint McCain into a corner when discussing Palin's comments about Obama paling around with terrorists. He noted that mistakes are made on the campaign trail.
