More from Nader
I just now spoke to Ralph Nader, who said the launch of his exploratory Web site wasn't timed to Edwards' withdrawal, but that Kucinich's withdrawal had made space in the race for him.
"We’re testing the waters on the overriding issue of corporate control, of our political economy, and anything else the dogma of commercialism wants to latch on to," he said.
He also said he'd make third-party ballot access a major issue, after what he sees as a "national conspiracy" by the Democratic Party to deny him a place on the ballot in 2004, subject of a recent lawsuit.
He also said he saw some overlap between his positions and Ron Paul's.
"His position on corporatism is taking some people who think the overriding political issue is corporate domination," he said. "But he has positions which are not acceptable – like he wants to acknowledge [I think he means abolish] the regulatory agencies I helped create.
