"More than 100 people" turned out at Ralph Nader's book signing in West Hartford and, as expected, the AP reports that "some of them" were holding signs calling on Nader to run for Senate. (Click here for our story last week on the grassroots effort to recruit Nader by the Connecticut Green Party.)
Nader remained undecided on a run, he told reporters after the signing. But he suggested the final decision rested in the hands of his supporters. From the AP:
"It really depends on what kind of momentum there is and how many people are willing to roll up their sleeves because I'm very accustomed to people saying 'run Ralph run' and then they drift away, predisposed and preoccupied with their daily life," he told reporters. "It has to be bottom up."

Every time it seems he can't get more pathetic, he does.

Translation: he will only run if they will commit to being as preoccupied with Ralph as Ralph is.
This from the same guy who says that Gore lost in Florida because Gore was an insuficiently inspiring candidate to make people want to dig in for him?

Ummm... no. Nader says that Gore won in Florida, and the Republicans stole the election from him. This is documented fact - watch the film American Blackout, available free on youtube.
Pathetic, egomaniacal... do you have anything against Nader other than hate and insults? Do you really think we're better off with Wall Street sellout Dodd as senator than a man who's spent his entire adult life fighting for the little guy?
