Nader "meets the press"

Ralph Nader will appear on Sunday's "Meet the Press" in all likelihood to announce his third party candidacy for the White House. Moderator Tim Russert would not otherwise extend Nader an invitation unless he had something important to announce. You may remember Ralph Nader from the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. Though he won 2.7 percent of the national vote as the Green Party candidate in 2000, Nader won just 0.3 percent as an independent in 2004, when he appeared on the ballot in only 34 states. Nader was forced to fight dozens of court battles over ballot access in 2004, as Democrats pressed legal challenges over whether he gained enough legitimate signatures to get his name on the ballot. Democrats to this day blame Nader for Gore's loss to George W. Bush in 2000. Will they blame Nader again if McCain wins the White House in 2008?
