Ralph Nader’s name will be on the ballot this year in states containing 85.2% of the national popular vote cast in 2004. This is far better than his 2004 showing, when he was only on before 50.1%. However, it is not as good as his 2000 showing, when he was on in 90.5% of the nation.

That’s probably because of Texas. Both in 2000 and 2008, Nader didn’t get on the ballot in North Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, and Oklahoma. Nader was on in 43 states in 2000 compared with 46 in 2008, but he did get Texas in 2000.
i say ralph is good for about 500,00 votes

Our elected politicians and government are so interconnected with corporations that we are now living under corporate fascism.
Both the Republicans and Democrats block out any Independents from the Presidential Debates. Here’s the facts:

The Commission on Presidential Debates is run by the Democrats and Republicans and paid for by Corporations.
I am voting for Ralph Nader. He has giving his working life to serving our country and still believes in democracy and getting corporations out of our government.
I bet Ralph gets 800,000-1.2 million votes
HUGH I ACCEPT YOUR BET. HOW ABOUT A BIG WAGER OF 2 BUCKS?
Perhaps Ralph Nader should have named Frank MacKay as his VP. Since MacKay is the self proclaimed National Chair of all American 3rd Parties, he would surly get Nader a sizable turn out.
Nader 900,000
Barr 499,999
McKinney 175,000
Baldwin 125,000
Paul 50,000
Keyes 35,000
LaRiva 25,000
Calero 10,000
Moore 8,000
Jay 6,000
Amondson 4,000
Just guessing blind here. I do have to say that I think maybe, just maybe Barr could have a bit of a late push to get him past Nader.
I’m being way too generous to Keyes, Probably to all of them.
