Yep, rain of frogs, the moon is the color of blood, and Ralph Nader is running for President again.

Goddamnit....
Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will "shift the power from the few to the many."
No it won't, Ralph. All your campaign will do, assuming you even get your wrinkled ass on the ballot in all 50 states, is play a spoiler again.

This means Obama really has to get the nomination now, not Clinton. If it's McCain vs. Clinton with a side of "why don't you fuck everything up and vote for Nader", then Clinton will lose, McCain will win, and we'll have four more fucked up years. But I honestly think that if it were McCain vs. Obama and you still had that side order of festering Nader, Obama could still win. You're not going to have nearly as many Democrats vote for Nader over Obama as for Nader over Clinton.

Of course, I may be worrying too much. The man got a mere 0.3 percent of the vote in 2004, and he only made it on the ballot in 34 states.

Still... Nader, you're a douchebag.
