Nader runs as an independent

An AP wire article on kgw.com has some comments from Oregon voters regarding Nader running as an independent. Since he will not be the candidate of the Green party, he will have to collect over 15000 signatures to be on the ballot, not impossible but not an easy task. It would be 1/5 of the number of voters who cast a ballot for him in 2000. My feeling is that his support even in Oregon is almost non-existent, based on what I hear from Nader voters. Things may change if Democrats insist on nominating a stuffy insider like Kerry.

Chances are, Nader will be irrelevant in this election year.
