Will Ralph Nader do to John Kerry what he did to Al Gore and Ross Perot did to G.H.W. Bush? It's looking increasingly likely that a spoiler will upset this year's presidential election.
"Nader will announce Sunday whether he
will make another run for the White House, but all signs indicate
the consumer advocate plans to jump into the race as an
independent," the Associated Press reported today.
Nader make the announcement on NBC's "Meet the Press," said Linda
Schade, a spokeswoman for his presidential exploratory
committee.
"He's going to be discussing his role in the presidential
election," Schade said. "He's felt there is a role for an independent candidate to play."
She said Nader, who has chosen not to run again as the Green Party's nominee, would be available for interviews after the
television appearance and planned to hold a press conference Monday morning "to discuss his communications" with the Democrats and Republicans, things non-candidates normally do not do.
P.M. Update: Fox News Channel reported that Nader will indeed run as an independent.
His big challenge would be gathering thousands of signatures to get his name on ballots in the states.
