		Had Nader heeded the calls of Barney Frank and others and abandoned his quixotic mission months ago, maybe Gore would not have been pushed to address the Nader threat and would have continued to mount a lackluster campaign.

	Old Right Nader
		Nader explained that his campaign is important “pictorially” because the two major parties, left to themselves, will merely consolidate the status quo: there will be no one to pull the political dialogue in a new direction.

	Politics1 - Guide to 2004 Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader

		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.

		Nader issued a statement "that he does not live in his brother's Bancroft Place house", but when a now-former worker (Lowell Dodge) asked him privately, he wouldn't deny it.
