The Excitement is Palpable
Ralph Nader has thrown his hat into the ring:
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader said on Sunday that he is launching another long shot independent campaign for president of the United States.
Nader, who will turn 74 this week, announced his presidential bid on NBC's "Meet the Press" saying that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are addressing the problems facing Americans. Link
Ralph cannot win. All he can do is to siphon off a small fragment of votes that would otherwise go to the Democratic nominee.

Yes, and the Democrats are not very happy about it. I frequently monitor memeorandum to see blog and news reactions to world events. Nader was a big story yesterday, right after his announcement. The general gist was he has a giant ego and only serves as a spoiler for the Democrats. He's already off the front page.

So the question is whether he will hurt Obama more by siphoning off voters to his Left or because he'll make McCain look young?
