Everyone's entitled to their opinion -- as long as it agrees with mine. Or so that saying goes. But who in the hell does Ralph Nader think he is giving John Kerry VP advice? Was his counsel solicited by the Kerry campaign in any way? So while Nader rails against the evils of Kerry and Bush alike, he actually thinks this is his place? That his voice matters here, of all places? Anyone who says Nader's presidential run is not the work of an egomaniac ought to take a beginner psychology course. His every move is so textbook.

Nader is like that kid you never wanted to invite anywhere -- because he spent most of his time telling you how superior he was to you and didn't want to join you -- and then did all kinds of smarmy things to get invited -- to the very place he insisted he didn't want to go.

It's so frustrating to think that he will siphon enough votes from Kerry to put Bush back in office for four more years - and Nader refuses to hear it from any source. His posture that he will attract conservative voters away from Bush is beyond flawed logic. Maddening.
