When you are prospecting for hundreds of thousands of signatures, you can't afford to miss any opportunity. So Ralph Nader had a few tips for the small group of volunteers who were brainstorming last Wednesday night at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., a state where an independent presidential candidate needs 10,000 signatures to get on the ballot. "It's a very good time to be doing it right now, at graduations," Nader ventured, "and sporting events and churches." Someone else proposed canvassing obvious lefty hangouts like vegan restaurants and bookstore cafes. The volunteers briefly debated waylaying people...
NASCAR for Nader, perhaps? Once again, Ralph Nader is making Democrats very, very nervous. Polls show him running in the single digits both nationally and in battleground states, but that could conceivably be enough to swing a state or two in what insiders expect to be another close election. As the news from Iraq gets even worse, Nader--who supports a total withdrawal of U.S. forces in six months--could become the candidate of choice for the most hard-core antiwar voters, who may see little difference between John Kerry's stay-the-course approach and Bush's.

At the least, progressives need to push Kerry towards providing a true alternative to Bush whether by lobbying, public demonstration, or, god forbid, threatening to vote for Nader. We must build a vibrant, independent Left that remains disinterested from Kerry’s Bush-like flailings—not just because this is the only way to sway the Democrats, but so we can move beyond the two-party system...

Those shifts have lifted Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who now leads Bush by five points in matchups among likely voters, even when third-party candidate Ralph Nader is added to the mix. "Iraq," said a longtime Bush watcher, "is taking its toll...
Like Travis County in Texas (home of Austin), Multnomah lies far left of what is largely a conservative state. A year ago, Multnomah citizens actually voted to create a county income tax, the only one in Oregon. In 2000 Al Gore and Ralph Nader together won 71% of the county's votes; 28 of the state's remaining 35 counties went to George W. Bush...
