Ralph Nader thinks he will be a factor in the presidential race again this year, but this time, he says, he is drawing votes from the Republican ticket.
He sparked the wrath of Democrats in 2000, when many said his third-party candidacy cost Al Gore the election.
He strongly disputes that notion — “There were 19 independent variables, and each one would have put Gore in the White House” he said in an interview today, citing the Supreme Court decision and Mr. Gore’s loss of his home state of Tennessee among them. And he called up The Caucus to boast that he seems to be draining votes from Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee, not Senator Barack Obama, the Democrat’s presidential candidate.
His evidence? He said polls show that when his name is added to the mix, Mr. McCain’s numbers go down.
Read on.
McCain better worry about the 3rd party nominees instead of Obama. This may be McCain's November surprise.

It's also not a good thing that when Nader talks, people listen especially when it comes to the economy. Nader also predicted an economic dissaster for the Gerbil term, which by the way many of which, sadly came true. Now he has predictions which are grim for the McCain presidency.....if it happens (let's hope not)
Despite I disagree with much if Nader's philosophies, he is right about the Gerbil. This economic disaster plus the Iraq war will be the Gerbil's legacy. He has made the history books as the worst President ever!
