Ralph Nader will be making another third-party bid for the Presidency in the 2008 election. The consumer advocate - and bane of many Democrats - made the announcement this morning on Meet the Press.
Nader emphasized most Americans still are disenchanted with both the Democratic and Republican parties. At his exploratory site, which he established last month, he said both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in thrall to corporate interests. Nader, who ran for President both in 2000 and 2004, earned the enmity of many Democrats who feel that he tipped a close election in 2000 from Al Gore to George W. Bush.
And speaking of party spoilers, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee appeared on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update:
