Nader is in — does anyone care?

naderrun.jpgRalph Nader is once again mounting an independent presidential bid, vowing to fight “corporate greed, corporate power, corporate control.”
He won’t matter this time. For one thing, it’s not a good year for third-party candidates, because there’s a surprisingly high level of voter satisfaction with both major party candidates.
Moreover, the premise of Nader’s past runs — the two parties have the same agenda — has been proved demonstrably false. As Barack Obama said in dismissing Nader’s run: “He thought that there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush, and eight years later I think people realize that Ralph did not know what he was talking about.”
