Ralph Nader

I listened to Ralph Nader on the Ed Schultz show last night.  Ed asked Ralph how many state ballots he was actually on.  Ralph responded that he expected to be on 42 states in November because lots of states are fairly easy to get on and the deadlines aren't until August-September but that means that their are a lot of fires to put out.

What do you think?

Remember Nader might not have a free ticket to the ballots that the Reform Party gave him.  Many states require that the candidate be chosen at a convention.  Nader was chosen as the reform party candidate on a conference call.  Come on how many people do you think were on that conference call.  Nader will drop out in Late August when he is having trouble getting on to the "easy" states to save whatever diginity he has left.
