blogging Ralph Nader
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. Barack Obama today took a swipe at Ralph Nader, who is expected to announce in the morning he is seeking an independent presidential bid.\ \ The Washington Times asked Mr. Obama in a press conference if he thinks Mr. Nader played the role of a spoiler in 2000 and to weigh in on a possible third Nader White House run.\ \ “Anybody has the right to run for president if they file sufficient papers,” Mr. Obama responded. “The job of the Democratic Party is to be so compelling that a few percentage of the vote going to another candidate is not going to make any difference.”
