One impediment to Nader getting on state ballots
States with Democratic Secretary of States will likely be real hard-assess when it comes to certifying the signatures. "Oh, that signature is illegible! OUT!"; "Oh, no area code listed on the phone number! OUT!"; "Whoop! That's not the address listed on this signer's voter registration. OUT!" Republican secretaries of state will likely be more lenient, but Democratic secretaries could make sure every i is dotted and every t is crossed when they count signatures. Nader no longer has the organization and funds needed to file multiple lawsuits to get onto the state ballots.

4. I'm for following the law
I'm for following the law rigorously and right down to every dotted i and crossed t. That's what I expect secretaries of state to do.

5. Nader isn't going to get the signatures...
He has 50 states, as an independent, to corral...no way

Nuff about Nader...

So is the B in ABB going to have a platform other than I killed more VC than Bush?
