Nader Wins Endorsement From Reform Party
WASHINGTON - Independent Ralph Nader (news - web sites), reviled by some Democrats for his presidential bid, was endorsed Wednesday by the national Reform Party, giving him ballot access in at least seven states, including the battlegrounds of Florida and Michigan.

Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese said the candidate welcomes the support but plans to continue running as an independent. He said Nader would decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept the Reform Party's ballot lines in each state, or try to gain ballot access through other means.

In an interview with Associated Press Radio, Nader said he is counting on Reform Party members to help him get on the ballot in other states. "We'll get a greater get-out-the-vote drive — there are tens of thousands of Reform Party people in California alone," he said.

1. Nader has lost his credibility
he looks more like a self centered egotistical fanatic these days, if he really wanted to change he could have entered the democratic primary and worked for change.

2. Does This Mean that the Reform Party CAN'T Put Nader on the Ballot?
It's currently not legal for the same candidate to be listed on two party lines of a ballot. (I don't agree with it, but that's the law.)
