Nader says how he could drop back out of Prez run

Ralph Nader says he offered John Kerry a list of 20 consumer protection ideas in 2004 and promised to drop out of the race if Kerry would publicly support three of them. And, Nader says, that never happened. (Judging from the deafening silence on a LOT of issues by the Kerry campaign, I have no reason to doubt Nader on this.)

Well, Nader has made the same offer to whomever wins this year’s Democratic nomination. We’ll see if it’s taken up.

That said, I’m assuming that, as in 2004, Nader will NOT get the official Green Party nomination, and so would have few votes to deliver to Obama or Clinton. And, at this point in the political reincarnation of Harold Stassen, you have to take anything Nader says with some grain of salt.
