Nader ballot access

[CARLHAYDEN]

That whole thing in Arizona was bizzare. I don't know why Nader gave up with as many signatures as he had.

So many of the signatures were invalid that to pursue the matter would simply have resulted in the court telling Nader what any person with have a brain already knew, i.e. that he did not have enought VALID signatures.

There is a map elsewhere on this board, but it is unreliable as, first, its not clear which of the state Reform parties will list Nader, and second, where he may get on the ballot in another fashion.

For instance, it is unclear whether Nader will be listed in Michigan as a Reform party candidate, an independent, or simply not be on the ballot.

In short, Nader's operation resembles a Keystone Kop Kommedy.

He's not likley to be a significant factor in the 2004 election unless Kerry suffers a melt-down, in which case some lefties may end up voting for Nader.
