Well, that notion is just MSM hyperbole, as Ralph just demonstrated.

Good on him, I say. Somebody needs to keep the issues up front. And we'll see what he can do.

He has already stated (prior to Meet the Press), that he will take any individual donations from people affiliated with ANY party. In some states, he will run on the Green ticket, in other states, other viable 3rd party tickets, and in others, as an independent. In other words, he has stated he will run however he needs to, in order to get on the ballot in all 50 states.

He has also said he would only run if he could raise enough money & legal volunteers to mount the inevitable Democratic party court challenges to keep his name off the ballot in the fall.

The toughest part, though, will be the debates. I just don't know how he can get around the MSM refusals to let him debate in the fall.

But we'll see. The Nader campaign has brilliant people involved in the campaign. They are a pretty creative bunch.
