Ralph Nader appeared on Bill Maher’s show last night. You can find footage over at One Good Move. He looked damned good. I’d love to see him be President. I just hope to god he doesn’t run.

If everyone who would “love to see him” as president would just vote for him he would be president.
Nader couldn’t win. Ever. He cuts his own hair and he’s been wearing the same suit since ’74. Americans care too much about image.
Not that he’d come close, Ed, but he’s a spoiler for any challenger.
My fantasy election is Ralph Nader vs. Ron Paul with Dustin Diamond running as the third party candidate.
At least, at the end of the day, we’d have a clear picture of what we voted for.
I think my ideal candidate would be sort of a cross between Nader and Edwards. He’d cut his own hair, an then bill himself four hundred dollars.
My favorite candidate would be a combination of Bush and Cheney. It would be a spoiled rotten little kid with a mechanical heart that liked to get drunk and shoot people in the face.
Tark,
I like this hypothetical candidate you’ve conjured up in your mind. But I don’t think I could really get behind the guy you’ve imagined unless he also was a brain damaged coke addict, draft-dodger and deserter, pretending to be a successful businessman, rancher, recovering alcoholic, and born-again christian. Even all that wouldn’t be enough for me. He would also have to be such a rotten husband and shitty parent that all the women in his family would have to be either prescription drug zombies, reckless alcoholic girls gone wild, or women who just turned against dealing with men entirely.
Now if we could find a candidate like that, this country could finally achieve the greatness meant for it. But alas, we must settle for mere mortal men. I can still dream.
My ideal politician would be a mix of Bob Dole and Winston Churchill. He would be impotent and locked in a box six feet below the ground.
Another reason to love Nader. He calls Democrats spineless and gutless for not impeaching Bush.
