Jay Leno said, 'The latest figures show that Nader is at 1%. 1 %? Even milk has 2 percent!

In my opinion, 'Nader' has become the catch phrase for a desired political phenomenon that has very little to do with Ralph Nader himself. Nader, let's face it, would not be a good president, for a great many reasons.

Naderism, on the other hand, is a concept, a workable ideal, that we can all work toward. And when we find a person who incorporates those ideals and can take them to the level that is needed to be a viable candidate, wonderful. I'll vote for that person in a heartbeat. Just as I voted for Nader more than once years ago.

In my opinion Ralph Nader has served his function. I think his name will likely be enshrined in a political movement of the future.
