On whether he would be encouraged to run if Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, Nader said, “It would make it more important that that be the case.”Democratic candidates he likes include former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, he said.<\/i><\/p>\n
Nader, of course, is electorally irrelevant.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s curious to note his travels in 2004: reportedly, as seen on the “Jerry Springer for Ohio” blog — your veracity may vary, Nader showed up at Dean headquarters when Dean either became the presumptive nominee or presumptive front-runner\u00c2\u00a0and offered himself up to Howard Dean as a running mate, which shows a certain political “wha-?” mindset on Nader’s part.\u00c2\u00a0 He also had a meeting with John Kerry, the details of which never have been made public.<\/p>\n
