Your "you Democrats" sounds a lot like Perot's "you people" when he spoke to a black audience in Dallas right before he tanked in his run for the presidency. Sounds like you're not one of "us."

At this point one can presume that Nader's ego has trumped his common sense. In the sentence sound-bite I just heard on the news he said he would run as an independent because it is necessary to retire the current president. His candidacy will not be seen as an attempt to retire Bush, far from it.
