It's time for Nader to take his ego and exit the race
I'm sure I'll get flamed by a few for this but that's okay. I can take it.

By JOEL CONNELLY
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER COLUMNIST

Although their candidate fizzled, local backers of Howard Dean have continued to speak blunt truths, lately by putting out the year's bluntest bumper sticker: BUSH--NADER 2004.

Here's hoping the sticker is seen around Town Hall at noontime today.

Inside, Ralph Nader will be seeking to relaunch presidential aspirations that helped elect a Republican president four years ago.
A supporting cast of outfits such as Socialist Alternative will display their wares.

Nader was briefly a toast of the Seattle Left in 2000.

A big KeyArena rally featured Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. In a speech that refused to end, Seattle City Councilman Peter Steinbrueck celebrated the political courage of Seattle City Councilman Peter Steinbrueck.

Nader burned out, fading to 4 percent of the vote in November. It didn't stop the insufferable credit claimer from saying he boosted the turnout and elected Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell. Never mind that Nader endorsed Cantwell's opponent in the primary.

Nader will never accept a milligram of moral responsibility for putting George W. Bush in the White House. The evidence, however, is irrefutable:

2. Lucid and well-written
Most of these Naderities are either incredibly naive and ignorant or they come from privileged backgrounds and hence will be insulated from the consequences of a Bush Administration.

he would bow out.

5. Democrats Helping Nader
I don't know how they do it in other parts of the country but here in Florida, Democrats that openly help Republicans or 3rd Party candidates are ostracized, no help from the party, and many times no financial backing. What's going on here? Kerry is the nominee, its time to step up to the plate!!
