My reaction to Nader running for the most part echoes Gov. Dean's response. I think Ralph Nader has lost any credibility that he had.
Sure both Kerry and Bush are all but owned by major corporations. The problem is that Bush and Company are also beholden to a bunch of folks that want to turn the U.S. into a theocracy. (more background).
The choice between a government run by corporations and one run by Christian Fundamentalists isn't a pleasant choice, but for me it's a pretty easy one, I'll take the corporations every time.

He's been a bit kooky lately (what with Lessig)... regardless, I want to see as strong a vote against BushJr as possible and the clearest way to do that (to my mind) is to vote for his most popular opposition (though writing makes me cringe a little).

That said, I agree that the shrub's got to go...
