Future headline: McCain wins!
That's possible but my intuition has it that he won't.Maybe Huckabee will run as an independent, too
His last run for the Presidency was largely fueled by the youth vote, a constituency that Obama already has firmly locked up.
Associated Press said:Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, speaking shortly before Nader's announcement, said Nader's past runs have shown that he usually pulls votes from the Democratic nominee. "So naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race," the former Arkansas governor said on CNN.
As charismatic as a bale of hay.
Let's try and look at the bright side: candidates from all fronts may be more inclined to finally tackle consumer rights.
After all, all Americans are avid consumers, regardless of race, gender, religion, political affiliation, age, etc.
Consumer rights are quintessentially "bi-partisan". Yet, I have heard little about the obscene abuses of the credit card industry, the wireless operators, the airlines, housing contractors, etc. in Clinton/Obama speeches.
In fact, both took money from the big banks...Hmmm!
Consumer rights is not just pro-consumer it's also oftentimes anti-corporation, which is less bi-partisan, and why Republicans tend to hate Nader more than Democrats.
