Nader Raising Money for Possible Campaign

Tuesday December 2, 2003 10:16 PM

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ralph Nader has not yet decided whether to make another run for the White House, but he's authorized a new exploratory committee to raise money for a potential bid.

The Nader 2004 Presidential Exploratory Committee was formed in late October as part of the consumer activist's effort to gauge support for a run, said Theresa Amato, a committee director.

``He is using it to test the waters,'' said Amato, who served as Nader's national campaign manager when he ran for president on the Green Party ticket in 2000. She said the organization is part of Nader's overall strategy of ``talking to people, calling people, seeing what level of support there is.''

The new committee also has a Web site under construction, www.naderexplore04.org, which Amato said would debut ``very soon'' and play a key role in raising money.

1. Republicans are flush, Ralph, bet they'll invest in your campaign.

I know he's very principled and very progressive, but this is just silly ego-stroking on his part. Honestly, does he really think that he's capture 100% of the Democratic vote required to beat Bush? Really......really?

Wonder what the new slogan will be? Maybe, "No difference between the Democrats and Republicans- except a $500BB deficit, 3MM lost jobs, wholesale destroying of the environment, and a desire to start WW3"?

4. I guess the GOP is getting nervous...time to put Nader in the race.

6. We ought to back Pat Buchanan

Lots of Repugs out there would vote for him over Bush in a heart beat, especially now!

7. Good Thinking.

I keep hoping he or some other third party conservative will run. It would be nice to see a repuke run against AWOL just to show the little sh*t that he isn't as loved as he thinks he is by his "base".

10. I would like to see another repug on the ticket as well. Worried about

Wisconsin Primary elections.
If there is no pressing reason for repugs to vote repug ticket, they could vote dem ticket and pick candidate least likely to beat Shrub.
Not a big concern, but it does bother me. This tactic has been used in the past for local elections.

Hopefully in the form of a freak meteor strike or mudslide.
