Thread Name: BS: Can Nader pull off a Ventura?
Subject: RE: BS: Can Nader pull off a Ventura?
I wonder if Nader will even get on the ballot in many states? Most of the states have previous-election percentage requirements and the Green Party didn't qualify in all states last time 'round. This time Nader has not signed onto the Green Party, making it even more difficult for him. Write-in candidates have historically never had a great impact.
This time Nader has to circulate get-on-the-ballot petitions with X number of certified voters' signatures and in addition, petitions have deadlines when the books must be turned in. It can be done but it's not a stroll. (Talk about running for president.)
