Not Again!

Ralph Nader cannot see past his own ego, much to the detriment of the causes he wants to support:

Nader to Run Again, NY Times: ...“Meet the Press” played a video clip of Mr. Obama answering a question about a possible Nader candidacy on Friday:

You know, he had called me and I think reached out to my campaign — my   sense is is that Mr. Nader is somebody who, if you don’t listen and adopt all   of his policies, thinks you’re not substantive. He seems to have a pretty high   opinion of his own work. Now — and by the way, I have to say that,   historically, he is a singular figure in American politics and has done as   much as just about anybody on behalf of consumers. So in many ways he is a   heroic figure and I don’t mean to diminish him. But I do think there is a   sense now that if somebody is not hewing to the Ralph Nader agenda, then you   must be lacking in some way.

Mr. Nader’s constituency appears to have eroded somewhat...

Long ago, when Oregon State would visit to play basketball, the students would chant "Sit down Ralph" every time the coach, Ralph Miller, would get out of his chair. I can hear that chant very clearly right now.
