[Vision2020] Suggestion to Kerry: Please choose Ralph Nader as your runni...

Garrett:

Kerry will never offer the VP spot to Nader.  Everyone knows Kerry will pick 
someone to counteract the "liberal" tag Kerry will be blasted with.  Nader is 
beyond "liberal" the wrong direction.  

But besides this, Nader would be getting into bed with a Washington political 
insider who represents the two party system that Nader has railed against.

If Nader accepted the VP spot with Kerry, I would see this as a sell out of 
his advocacy of an alternative party to break the hold of the two party system 
on national politics.  

Many now see Nader as an ego maniac using his influence and name recognition 
in politics to throw his weight around for idealistic causes that the 
Republican party exploits to increase Bush's chances of a second term.  The Republican 
party and their supporters run ads to promote Nader and are actively working 
to get him on the ballot for 2004.  Nader should keep doing the good work he 
has done in other areas, and avoid running for president to avoid helping Bush 
win a second term.

Nader should consider a run for US Congress from a state or district that 
might actually elect him to office running as a third party candidate.  This 
would promote his ideals of a viable third party, provide him (if elected) a 
podium in the federal government to enact change, and avoid assisting in giving 
Bush a second term.
