What's Nader All About?

Hi All, it's good to know you are out there thinking and writing. I'm Mike Ford and I've been a manager and advisor to Jerry since he started in elective politics in 1970. For the last 6 months or so I was a senior advisor to Howard Dean.

Bout three months ago Ralph Nader and his entourage walked into our Vermont headquarters off the street to "dialogue".

He was quite impressive intellectually and the firmness of his vision was also impressive. At the time of the visit, Howard was still the front runner and the Nader entourage made a blatant pitch for a Nader Vice Presidential nomination.

The point of all this is to say that the only thing that impressed me more than Nader's brain was his outsized ego. Got to say, that's what seems to be the driver here and it's more about his personal agenda and, I think, about that huge ego rather than beating Bush. Who died and made you King Ralph? To each her own, EH? What do you think?

Skeptical about the source? If that truly is Mike Ford, he did work for the Dean campaign and he is close with Joe Trippi. Also, he has worked on previous Springer campaigns.

Any presidential candidate has a huge ego.
How could a humble person ever dare being candidate?
Only a puritan american can be so naive as to be shocked by such a "news". You are so funny!

Damn, this forum has gone way downhill. I found it more interesting and humorous, and I wanted to share it with y'all.
