So predictable.

Ralph Nader Campaigns In Charlottesville

During the last presidential election in 2004, the State Board of Elections kept Independent, Ralph Nader off the Virginia ballot, saying his petition failed to get enough signatures from potential voters. This election, Nader says he will be on the ballot in Virginia.

Nader held a low-key campaign rally Sunday afternoon at the Gravity Lounge in Charlottesville. Supporters packed the small venue in hopes of hearing Nader's message, which he says cannot be expressed by the two major political parties.

-snip-
The Independent White House hopeful was accused of being a spoiler candidate during the 2000 election because his liberal stances on issues were similar to those Democratic nominee Al Gore.

-snip-
Many believe for Nader to be successful in Virginia, he needs to explain to Democrats why he is running.
"He has to make sure that from day one he's running a real campaign introducing himself. There are voters susceptible to his message, but have a lot of ill will towards him because they think he's runs only as a spoiler candidate," said Wood.

-snip-
Nader says he has the 10,000 required signatures to get on the presidential ballot in Virginia this year. He needs a minimum of 400 valid signatures in each Congressional District.
Nader says he expects to be on the ballot in 45 states throughout the U.S. by Labor Day.

The names on those petitions better be good, Ralphie.

I'm sure he will focus on just the swing states. :eyes:

2. No, he picked the small venue because he has NO SUPPORT
These reporters really need to get back to reporting and not stenography.

3. Supporters packed the small venue?
Must have been a closet.

Obama is a stickler when it comes to signatures.
Nader probably goes to Republican neighborhoods
to get his signature. He most likely tells them
this will help beat Barack Obama,
the Muslim Black radical who talks White.
