Nader 2012? "It's too early to tell," says Ralph Nader. But he certainly sounds interested. His beef with President Obama: Liberals and progressives aren't getting much face time. "He turns his back on people who have nowhere to go politically but to support him," Nader says. "And that's a very bad sign." Nader also isn't a bailout fan. "You don't spend trillions of dollars with a massive detour of that money at Wall Street. You've got to go to the communities," he says. And closer to home, Obama's ignored Nader. "He's just avoiding intensive meetings with the progressive community."

Nader may not have any chance of winning an election, but every time he runs, it brings attention to the need to toss out the two party system. Until that happens we'll never get a decent president

Nader is a total nerd! Obama is wise to ignore him - Nader represents no-one but himself.

I saw an intersting documentary on Ralph Nader. I liked his community aproach in the 1980's. It seemed to be the most effective. I wish he would use that aproach again and stop running for Presidant.
