...Meet the Press,” Nader justified his candidacy on the grounds that there is not enough enthusiasm for either of the major party candidates. For anyone who has been paying attention to the presidential race, Nader’s reasoning rings hollow. Huge turnouts have been the hallmark of this primary season, particularly in the Democratic race.

In other words, no matter how many times Hillary Clinton intones the magic word of 2008 - change - it's going to ring a bit hollow, because she is an eternal piece of their mental furniture...
