Your support is crucial...San Francisco Chronicle:
Former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader said he is considering a presidential run in 2008 and strongly suggested today he would enter the race if Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton wins the Democratic Party nomination.
“She’s just another bad version of (former President) Bill Clinton,” Nader told KGO radio host Ronn Owens in San Francisco.
Asked to describe Clinton, a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination a year in advance of the primaries, Nader said: “Flatters, panders, coasting, front-runner, looking for a coronation, not taking on the huge waste in the military budget as a member of the Armed Services commission, never going after the corporate crimes against pensions, against workers. … She has no political fortitude.”
Asked specifically if he would run in 2008, Nader said it is “too early to say. … (I’m) considering it. We’re going to see what the Democrats come up with.”
