Did I just hear Ralph Nader enter the building?

That was my thought too. Let's hope Dan has reconsidered the wisdom of such a thing, after our long national nightmare ...

LaManga is running as a Democrat, not an independent. He won't be a spoiler candidate splitting the vote. He is virtually unknown, and will probably never get out of the single digits.

My guess is that he is running primarily as a way to get more press for his anti-war campaign. He says himself that being a potential presidential candidate is getting him access to places and people he couldn't get before. I don't really see this as a bad thing, even if he has no real chance of becoming president. Anything that helps end this stupid war any sooner is a good thing. And it may have the side benefit of pushing some of the more centrist Democrats a little closer to the anti war camp.

Why wouldn't LaMagna just support John Edwards? Edwards, unlike Clinton and Obama, is for a deadline for withdrawl. Clinton believes deauthorizing the war means something, when in fact it is meaningless. Obama believes he can find 16 GOP Senators who will overide the POTUS' veto. This will not happen.

I admit, I'm for Edwards. Why isn't Dal?

SDA @3: "And it may have the side benefit of pushing some of the more centrist Democrats a little closer to the anti war camp."

As far as I'm aware, all of the Democratic candidates, and a few of the Republicans, want to end the war. Why do we need LaManga, the anti-war candidate?

I for one love to see people get squashed by the big well funded candidates. It is really quite amusing.

I think he will lucky to get INTO the single digits. 0.9 would be an impressive showing.

I'm surprised he's not gunning for the VP slot for Al Gore.

Fnarf, you beat me to it.

I don't think he'd rise above the MOE even if you surveyed the entire adult population of the United States.
