	Ralph Nader presidential campaign, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1996 and 2000, Nader was the candidate of the Green Party; in the 2004 election, however, he ran as an independent candidate.
		However, an effort is underway by the Populist Party of Maryland to field candidates for governor, other statewide seats and at the local level for the State Assembly, county and municipal positions in the 2005 and 2006 elections.
		As of October 26, 2004, Nader was slated to appear on the ballot in 34 states and Washington, DC, and was definitely off the ballot in eight states (California, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Virginia).

	Third party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		And since the new party rarely seems to have the chance or prospect of electing its candidate for governor of a state or president of the country, the voter is inclined in advance to consider its entire ticket as hopeless.
		Advocates of third parties generally object to the notion that votes are "taken away" by third parties, because the phrase "taken away" misleadingly suggests that the two major parties have a propriety ownership interest in voters' votes.
		In 2004, fearful of Nader's potential as a so-called "spoiler" who might garner votes that would perhaps otherwise go to the Democratic ticket, Democratic Party operatives made a concerted effort in many states to keep Ralph Nader off the ballot and were successful in several states.

	Ballot Access News -- October 1, 2004
		Everyone agreed that the petition to qualify the Populist Party had 10,000 valid signatures, except that the petitions were organized according to county of residence, and some voters had signed the wrong county sheet.
		Nader has been a registered independent voter his entire life, but the objectors claimed that he is still "affiliated" with the Reform Party, since he accepted its nomination.
		Unfortunately for the Libertarian Party, the law requires nominees of parties that nominate by primary to poll 1% of all the votes cast in the primaries of all parties, for that office.

	Nader and the Green Party's Presidential Choice for 2004
		Nader, one of the great progressive reformers of the 20th century, has been clear and consistent for months in saying that he will not seek or accept the national Green Party presidential nomination for 2004.
		Nader has been saying that while he will not seek or accept their nomination, he would welcome their endorsement of his "independent" presidential candidacy.
		In fact, the Green Party isn't being asked to endorse an "independent" candidate for president this year -- the Green Party is being asked to endorse a candidate who is seeking to be the nominee of another party.

	Politics1 - Guide to 2004 Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader
		Nader ignored pleas from liberal Democrats that he abandon the race because he was siphoning essential votes away from Al Gore's campaign -- answering that Gore was not substantially different than Bush, and that his own campaign was about building a permanent third party.
		Nader vows that his latest campaign will work "to defeat the giant corporation residing in the White House masquerading as a human being." By forgoing the Green option in favor of an Independent run, Nader will have to secure his own ballot status.
		Nader and John Kerry are friends of more than 30 years, so a late Nader withdrawal from the race in Kerry's favor is not outside the realm of possibility -- but his selection of Peter Camejo as his VP runningmate seems to indicate a desire to run a full campaign.

	Not Nader: "Quixotic and Destructive"
		Nader has told the Green party that he would not accept their nomination because it would threaten his status as an independent.
		In 1988 the Populist Party presidential nominee was David Duke, former Louisiana state representative and national director of the Ku Klux Klan.
		Nader apparently intends to once again reincarnate the Populist Party in states where being the candidate of an existing party has legal advantages over being an independent.

	Nader for President 2004 - SourceWatch
		Nader for President 2004 is the campaign for consumer activist Ralph Nader in the 2004 United States Presidential election campaign.
		Nader's campaign has also encountered organised opposition from the Democratic Party, which fears a repeat of the 2000 Presidential campaign where a very tight vote saw the Republican candidate George W. Bush win by the narrowest of margins.
		The Nader campaign is appealing that decision, and had filed the few thousand signatures it had gathered for Independent status in case it had to argue in court for more time to gather signatures as a partial remedy for being denied its expected Reform Party ballot line.

	John Samples on Ralph Nader & Election 2004 on National Review Online
		Nader says his presidential campaign will focus on providing universal health care, regulating campaign finance, fighting poverty, and protecting the environment.
		Of course, Nader may believe that large numbers of voters are well to the left on the issues but have given up on the Democratic party.
		Nader probably hit his ceiling in 2000 because Democrats were willing to consider an alternative to the putative moderation of Bill Clinton.

	Franklin & Marshall - Nader's Nadir
		Nader's 2000 party, the Green Party, is an example of latter type.
		Typically a third party candidates highest voter support is found in late spring or summer of the election year, and then declines by 50-percent.
		Nader's national 2000 vote was just under 3-percent and so in 2004 his likely support on Election Day could be under 2-percent.

		Nader was not on the ballot in either state.
		She said the only people giving money to the party this year were hard-core Greens, and many of them supported the Nader campaign instead of the Greens.
		As the party becomes stronger, as it becomes a more relevant player in the progressive spectrum, we won't have progressive candidates feeling that they have to run on a different ballot line.

	Politics1 - Guide to the 2004 Reform Presidential Candidates
		Nader, who will be 70 in 2004, is a lifelong bachelor, a former Army reservist, and a multi-millionaire (through investments).
		Nader said he may also seek the Reform Party's nomination, as it would give him ballot status in a handful of states.
		An unapologetic Nader, in response, attacked them as cowardly members of the "liberal intelligensia." Look for liberals who have been traditional donors to the various Nader organizations cut off their dollars to all of those groups in an effort to punish Nader.

	Nader in 2004? - Salon
		Nader, who many Democrats and progressives blame for tipping the last presidential election to Bush in key states like Florida (where Nader won 96,000 votes), has not yet announced his decision about 2004.
		"Nader doesn't have it locked up," insists the 28-year-old Manski, who worked on the staff of Nader 2000 and is studying law at the University of Wisconsin.
		Which is why former supporters like Dugger, who presented Nader at the Green Party conventions that nominated him in 1996 and 2000, are working hard to convince him to back a progressive Democrat in 2004.

	Nader And The Green Party’s Presidential Choice For 2004
		This year, Ralph Nader’s presidential campaign has two trains running that will collide at an unfortunate intersection — the Green Party’s national convention in Milwaukee.
		Yet he has made it known that he would welcome the party’s "endorsement" — and there’s a move afoot to give it to him at the national convention that begins June 23.
		In fact, the Green Party isn’t being asked to endorse an "independent" candidate for president this year — the Green Party is being asked to endorse a candidate who is seeking to be the nominee of another party.

		Nader dismissed Democrats' attempts to thwart his campaign as "a sign of weakness, lack of confidence and misplaced priorities." He said his campaign "is based on a platform that the old Democratic party would have taken, but the new corporate Democratic party rejects."
		Ralph Nader is willing to address and, if he were ever elected President, act in a thoughtful and aggressive as well as more timely manner upon issues that truly matter to people where and how they live as well as about what and whom they care about so deeply.
		Nader said he wanted to direct his remarks to the younger generation, noting that a majority of those in attendance were college students.

		An open mike fundraiser for Green Party Candidate for Baltimore City Council Myles Hoenig and Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader will be held on October 29, 2004 at the All Peoples Congress Hall, 426 E. 31st Street (31st and Greenmount Ave), Baltimore, MD 21218.

	Second judge says Nader can't be on ballot
		State District Judge Theresa Baca ruled that Nader does not qualify as an independent candidate in New Mexico because he is running as the nominee for minor parties in other states.
		Nader attorney Pat Rogers, who has also represented the Republican Party and GOP candidates, said there are numerous examples of candidates appearing as independents in New Mexico while also being a minor party or third-party candidates in other states.
		Nader attorney David Garcia argued that the law defines candidates based on their status in New Mexico.

		Together, the Democratic and Republican parties serve the interests of the same 1500 corporations that finance their campaigns and they no longer represent the interests of the American people.
		The Republican and Democratic parties have their candidacies financed by the same 1500 corporations and the contest between them is no more significant than a professional wrestling match where the only winners are the promoters -- the corporations who pay for their campaigns while the losers are the American people.
		The two old parties are doing their best to destroy Independent and third parties candidates by creating outrageous laws making it nearly impossible for anyone other than Democrats and Republicans to run for office.
