Ralph Nader has just announced he is running for president on Meet the Press. Russert is already playing up the 2000 election scare tactic as a response to Nader's announcement.
I just heard a collective scream from Dems everywhere. A mass panic is completely unnecessary. Let's face it the political landscape has changed a great deal since 2000. Nader's appeal to Democratic voters has reached a nadir in my view. If anything he may get the Democratic nominee to stay focused on issues like Iraq, corporatist influence, universal health care and a slew of other issues that we all value. He gets a little face time in return, so what.
I'm not concerned, really.
