I see that someone is exploring whether or not there is interest in having Ralph Nader run for President in 2008. http://www.naderexplore08.org/
I for one am interested in having him run and would support his candidacy. I would do so because I believe that of all the people who have been candidates for President in recent memory he would make the best president. We do not need any more liars and cheats in the White House. We don't need anyone in the White House who, as a public official, failed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution which they were honor bound to do. We don't need anyone in the White House who can't be trusted to do their best for all The People. We don't need anyone in the White House who doesn't understand the meaning of honor and integrity... who doesn't have the will to fight... who would continue to shame us for what we have allowed our country to become. I believe Ralph Nader would serve honorably. I believe he can be trusted to do what needs to be done. He believes in the rule of law and would not shirk his duty. He has the vision, the experience, the guts and the skill to be the best President we ever had. I would vote for him. If he runs I will vote for him. I am saying this in hopes that you will finally stand up and fight for what you believe in... I hope you will let go of any fear of failure but instead stand up for what we really need now. Please click on the link above and ask him to please run for office.
Thank you,
Mark A. Goldman

I will only support Nader if he centers his campaign around eliminating the "spoiler" issue through reforms like Instant Runoff Voting. Without that, third parties can never grow in this system.
As I discuss in Instant Runoff Voting Excluded: An Unreasonable Omission from An Unreasonable Man, Nader has failed to talk about this for years now. If he doesn't do it this time around, I'm done supporting him.
Nader has already spoken out in support of that. But the real spoilers are those who don't vote their conscience, but vote for second rate candidates instead.
