Ralph Nader is running for a fourth term as President!

That would mean he somehow changed the constitution.

How Nader will do....I hope people don't support like they did 8 years ago, and I doubt that they will if Obama is the nominee. I could see Nader getting 2-3% if it were Hillary-McCain, but since I expect Obama to be in the race, I'll say Nader gets less than 1%.

Were Clinton to win the nomination i could see a small(ish) percentage disaffected Obama supporters pluming for Nader over her... perhaps sufficent to better his 2000 share, added to which there would be no "stop Bush" sentiment which saw the left locked firmly behind Kerry in '04, McCain is far less likley to arouse that sort of reaction of the left, so a Clinton/McCain race could be good for Nader.

It's moderately possible that he beats his 2004 numbers if Clinton is nominated.

Not more than 1% under any circumstances, though.

It doesn't matter to Nader how poorly he performs in the GE -he will keep running, or die trying.

He's a joke; he won't get 0.30%

I hope the Dems pull the same operations to  deny him ballot access again. Not so much because he's a threat (which he isn't) but just to humiliate his worthless ass.

Nader's vote total in an Obama/McCain election should be insanely low.
