Ralph Nader has said he is now considering a 4th run for the White House, likely as an independent. In 2000 he reieved almost 2 million votes and swung the election to then Texas Governor George W. Bush. However in 2004 he only recieved 400,000 votes. In 2000 he ran as the Green Party Nominee. Nader's runs have usually swung the election to the Republican Candidate or usually Bush. Bloomberg is also considering a run so can he be as effective as he has been in the past. He alos has issues about getting on the ballot as an Independent. Nader didn't even make it on the ballot in my homestate of Wyoming. He recieved 10% in one state in the 2000 election however. Bloomberg would probably steal his spotlight. Nader is currently supperting Ron Paul and Mike Gravel in the presidential race. Both are considered long shots. He probably did this to put his name forward after they lose.
