The BBC says:
Ralph Nader says he will run again as an independent for the US presidency.
The anti-establishment consumer advocate made the announcement in a televised interview on Sunday.
Mr Nader was accused by many Democrats of handing the presidency to George W Bush in the November 2000 elections. He ran again unsuccessfully in 2004.
...
Nearly three million Americans - more than 2% of the vote - backed Mr Nader when he stood as the Green Party candidate in the 2000 presidential election.
This ego-driven crankiness is ruining the Nader legacy. The BBC article mentions how well he did in 2000 but fails to mention that his vote in 2004 divided by seven, so was at around the same level as all the other crackpot fringe candidates. And in 2008 he will do no better.
