3. This isn't about shutting down democracy.

If Ralph runs, that would be just one more thing for our nominee to worry about, making it harder for them to win. Do you think that encouraging Nader to run will help anything. We must beat Bush* or his second term in office will be even worse than the first one. I think that after all which has happened in the first term, no one can say that Kerry or Edwards wouldn't do a better job than the Resident. Let's unite behind ONE candidate and worry about Nader later. He can do nothing more than hurt our cause.

4. Don't you think this will just give him more publicity?

If there's a massive protest against him, what I'm afraid if is that the media will seek him out and give him even more exposure for his message. If his message is anything like the one in 2000, it'll be about how bad the Democrats are and basically skim over the Republicans, except to use the "lesser of two evils" argument. I'd like to see him ignored, although the idea of the protest is appealing.
