And this one’s bound to draw some ire. Hilzoy:
Ralph Nader apparently feels the need to save us from our corporate overlords, just like he did in 2000.
Seriously, I’d be shocked if Nader got enough attention this year to make any difference at all. The 2000 election was a perfect storm, one that made Nader seem a lot more relevant than he actually is. I seriously doubt it will happen again.
Also, a bonus quote from publius:
The thing about the Malkin/Aces/Reynolds wing of the blogosphere is that wrongness is no obstacle to writing. In fact, it just makes them double down. If anything, the number of words they devote to a topic is directly proportional to their demonstrable wrongness.
UPDATE: You think I’m down on Nader? Check out this guy!
I had my say on this here and beyond noting my agreement with the statement that he will not be a factor, I’m not going to argue about Ralph Nader.

You might not believe me, but I’m really not trying to pick a fight on that. I just thought the quote was funny.

I didn’t think you were trying to pick a fight. The thought hadn’t occurred to me, honestly.
But because I imagine some people might have been expecting me to jump in even though I’ve said that I won’t argue about third parties anymore, I wanted to say “if you want to know what I think, check out the link. Any argument about it here will just make everyone testy and waste all our times.”

See my poem “Obama,the Lemon Cake Boy: A Satire” posted below on the “Obama and Substance” thread by Kevin. It might make you laugh.
