Nader to test waters with fund-raiser

[Freddie Stubbs]

Ralph Nader will attend a $100-a-head fund-raiser arranged by the New Jersey Green Party on Thursday as he gauges both political interest and financial support for another possible presidential candidacy.

Mr. Nader has promised to announce this month whether he will make a White House bid next year and has authorized the Nader 2004 Presidential Exploratory Committee to raise funds.

But the 69-year-old consumer advocate has not declared a party affiliation in the event that he does decide to run.

"He is testing the waters and trying to figure out whether to run as a Green or an independent," said Scott McLarty, a national
spokesman for the Green Party. "It leaves things at an interesting point. This fund-raiser may well be a persuasive effort."

1. I am sure that Bush can spare millions of his giant fund

to back Nader. Bush would get more for his money that way than from TV commercials.

Personally, I think Nader has had his time in the sun, just as Perot did and just as Buchanan did.

2. If Darth really wants the money to run, all he needs....

to do is send an emmisary to the RNC. They'll give him the money. It was worth it to them in 2000 and it will be almost as worthy in 2004.
