Freaking Brilliant

Would you be brave enought to post your take on the Nader candidancy? I see no upside to him running as a renegade independent, without a party, although I appreciate his perspective, which is much like Kucinich's. I have a feeling that he may know enough to pull out before the actual election, because he has no remote chance of winning. His platform could help the debate, but he is entering kind of late to be taken seriously as anything other than a windbag.

As I said here, I can't find any good reason for him to run. I haven't said more about it because I have nothing to say that hasn't been said better by others.

Keeping in mind that I've never been right about a political prediction, I can't see why he'd pull out at the end given his stated reasons for getting in.
