Ralph Nader announced he's running for Presidency as an independent.  This could be bad news for Dems and being able to beat Bush in close-call states, but he might not be able to get the number of signatures necessary to be on the ballot in all 50 states.  Thoughts anyone?  I admire the guy's resilience, but some have said he is doing it as an ego thing; in any event, his timing kinda sucks.
