Maybe Nader knows that even if Kerry gets the popular vote, the Bush machine will insure that Bush will still be president. Maybe Nader wants to shake the tree to insure that Kerry will be president or at least that Bush will not be president, no matter what. Nader probably knows that he won't be president but he is definitely telling Bush, loud and clear, that the American public wants change.

Ego? You'd have to have a strong ego to be a politician. Nader is very good at raising important issues and making them public. At least it will expose Congress and the Senate. Isn't that where your vote counts most anyway? Go for it Nader. Expose them all.
