The following is from the MTP Nader interview:

{Quote}
"Somehow it's OK to have a two-party duopoly that is converging more and more, where the towering similarities dwarf the dwindling real differences that the Democrats are willing to fight over. Democrats better look at themselves. They'd better brag a little bit more, which they hardly do, about bringing Social Security and Medicare and environmental laws to the country before 20, 25 years ago they turned into a corporate paymaster minion"

Mr. Nader has a valid point. I would say it: "a duopoly merging into a monopoly of power". Corporate America has a hold on both of the major parties and Mr Nader can be part of the needed impetus for change. I don't think it is all about ego, although he could never be President. He would make a good Cabinet member though and could make change within the system.
