Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, blamed by many Democrats for their loss of the White House in the 2000 election, said on Sunday he is launching another independent campaign for the White House.
Nader, who will turn 74 this week, announced his longshot presidential bid on NBC's "Meet the Press" saying that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans were addressing problems facing Americans.
Nader called Washington "corporate occupied territory" that turns the government against the interests of the people. "In that context, I have decided to run for president," he said.
We have not heard much of Nader in the last few years which, given his desire for publicity, must gall him. So what better way to gather attention that to run for President.
Ralph has run a number of times. Not nearly as often as Harold Stassen, but if he lives long enough he may give Harold a run for his money.
