Nader Urges Kerry to Pick Edwards for VP
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&e=12&u=/ap/nader_kerry


WASHINGTON - Democrat John Kerry is getting some advice on his choice for vice president from an unlikely source: rival Ralph Nader.
In an open letter sent Wednesday, the independent presidential candidate urged Kerry to choose John Edwards as his running mate, saying the North Carolina senator and former trial lawyer has been thoroughly vetted and is committed to protecting the right of consumers to sue corporations that harm them.
"(Edwards) has already gone through a primary campaign and has his rhythm and oratory (the two Americas speech) all well-honed," Nader wrote to Kerry. "After a slow start, Sen. Edwards closed fast and has won praise from the media." That should be a huge fucking red flag right there

SNIP
On Tuesday, Nader had a testy meeting with members of the Congressional Black Caucus in which he rejected their pleas for him to quit the race. A day earlier, Nader announced that he had selected Peter Camejo , a longtime Green Party activist, as his running mate.


YA KNOW... If the media wants Edwards, something is wrong. Also, who the FUCK is NADER to be giving any advice to Kerry? Is this his pathetic attempt at extortion? (ie. if you pick Edwards I'll drop out...) The last polls I saw on pollingreport.com reported that with out Nader in the race Kerry would lead by five more points and Bush would only get one more point. This means that Kerry is getting more voted taken from him by a margin of 5 to 1 ! If Nader is so God-Damned concerned about the country, and knuckling under to corporate interests, why doesn't he stop campaining for Bush (the biggest corporate whore that ever lived?
Ugh....:mad::nuke::wtf::argh::grr:
