Nader's In
Oh boy, now that Nader's running for president, the Dems are pissed.
There's a portion of the left that feels it is not represented by the Dem party - and clearly that isn't going to change w/ people like Richardson not even acknowledging their importance here when they finally stand up to be counted.
Bill Richardson: “It’s his personal vanity because he has no movement. Nobody’s backing him,” New Mexico Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson said Sunday in advance of Nader’s announcement.I've seen polls already w/ Nader in them and he's getting 2-4% nationally. Now, while thats certainly not a big number, and Nader's no threat to win, having Dems say 'nobody's backing him' and 'its all about himself' is just stupid. Near as I can tell, that attitude is exactly the reason that Nader is running.
“The Greens aren’t backing him. His friends urge him not to do it. It’s all about himself,” Richardson told “Fox News Sunday.”
