Candidates have to be officially nominated by the parties that they represent to qualify.  For national candidates that happens at the conventions.  Even though both conventions are happening too late to qualify on most state ballots, the Democratic and Republican parties have given themselves wavers in every statee since one of thee two controls each state's government.  It would be funny to see none of the states with Democratic control give wavers to the Republicans; George Bush the Republican wouldn't even be on the ballot in those states.  Who controls each legislature anyways?

Nader is running without a party so he doesn't have to wait for a convention to get on the ballot although without a party organization to vouch for him he'll have a hell of a time finding enough signatures to get on the ballot.
