Who Cares?
[Read the article: What will Nader say on "Meet the Press"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Really, who cares if Ralph Nader runs for President again? I suspect that most people who've supported his bids in the past (including myself in 2000) are unlikely to do so this year, same as it went in 2004, and those who do will not be much of a hindrance to the Democrats' prospects. If the Dems manage to lose the Presidency again this year, they really have no one but themselves to blame.
More than anything, I think the idea of yet another Nader Presidential campaign is just sad. I love the guy, but he's making a fool of himself and his legacy. He and his message would be so much more effective and influential if he dispensed with the futile election year wank-a-thons and concentrated his efforts elsewhere.

Disenfranchised?
[Read the article: Clinton camp goes on offense against Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The debate over MI and FL is just such horse****. As far as I'm concerned, voters in MI and FL disenfranchised themselves. If Dem voters in those states were really concerned about their primary votes counting, why did they not put up any kind of fight against their state party officials who were openly breaking party rules about this time a year ago. It's not as if this all happened in secret; it was in the national news for chrissakes! People need to grow up and learn that being a citizen in a democratic nation requires more than just getting up off your ass and voting once every couple of years or so.
