A "point-counterpoint" discussion March 30 between former U.S. presidential candidate Ralph Nader and former 20/20 co-anchor John Stossel opens Vanderbilt's annual Impact Symposium, organized this year around the theme "The Future of Capitalism."

Nader and Stossel will trade salvos over the theme "Business or the Consumer First?" starting 8 p.m. at Vanderbilt's Langford Auditorium. They will find common ground on the topic of book promotion, though, at least long enough to sign their respective books at the Vanderbilt Bookstore that afternoon at 3:30 p.m.

I'd much rather see Ralph Nader vs. Thomas Woods. But that wouldn't really be a fair debate.

Oooh. I'm going to hate to see Nader smushed, sorta, I think he's a decent guy.

Matt: Will you shake Nader's hand?

Also, looking forward to the pictures. Hopefully Stossel can get your autograph!

I don't think he will get smushed. Stossel is pretty soft spoken and not the best debater from what i've seen.

When I went to UCLA, I had a restored '63 Corvair Coupe that I put a Nader 2000 sticker on, just for laughs.

He hasn't answered yet..

I'm gonna say he would..

a) Ron Paul endorsed Ralph Nader for President '08

b) Ralph Nader was VERY outspoken against the bailouts

I can tell you that Stossle gave a speech at my school a couple of years ago and answered questions at the end. Any tough question he got he ended up saying "I'm not an expert economist, i am just a reporter" or something like that. But this doesn't seem like a win-lose debate, so he will do good...i hope.

What in the world are you talking about? Ron Paul never endorsed Nader. He endorsed Chuck Baldwin for the 2008 election.

YouTube - RON PAUL ENDORSES BARR,BALDWIN,MCKINNEY,AND NADER!!!!!!!!!! link to 3rd party dabate inh sidebar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqOpeRnvvNo)

His final endorsement was for Chuck Baldwin, but before that he endorsed Nader, McKinney, Baldwin, and maybe Barr (jackass didn't show up).
