    Hey Joe -

    And I quote, from SF Chronicle 2/29/08:

    DeLeon said the Nader-Gonzalez ticket could have an effect on the Democratic nominee, keeping Obama or Clinton from moving as far to the center as either might without a challenger on the left.

    "I hear some right-wing commentators describe Obama as a left-wing radical. We just laugh," DeLeon said. "There's a certain function the Nader-Gonzalez ticket can play in reminding people what a real left-wing radical in the American system looks like. In that context, Obama looks more like an acceptable political centrist."

    Sincerely,

    Hillary Langolf
