Run, Ralph, Run - Again!

Although there is no chance this ticket can win even a single electoral vote anywhere, Gonzalez might just give Nader's candidacy the boost it needs among the extremists who make up the far left end of the political spectrum. A small percentage of the vote in a few hotly contested states could make the difference in a close race.
In a perverse sort of way, a Ralph Nader candidacy could save the Republic once again. In fact, anything that prevents Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or any other liberal Democrat from winning the White House is a good thing for America.
Nader has been quoted as saying that it is not his job to elect his opponents. With Democrats screaming, "No, Ralph, No," I count myself among those cheering, "Run, Ralph, Run -- Again!"
