Did Ralph Nader set himself a date by which he'll announce this primary challenger?

1. I don't think so. Here's a WaPo article about this from yesterday.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/ralph-nader-cornel-west-lead-effort-to-mount-primary-against-obama/2011/09/17/gIQAB2LaaK_story.html

The group said Saturday it is seeking six “recognizable, articulate” candidates who would not mount serious challenges to Obama, but “rigorously debate his policy stands” on issues related to labor, poverty, foreign policy, civil rights and consumer protections.

The group’s efforts come as Democrats are growing increasingly pessimistic about the country’s direction. Fewer than three-quarters of Democrats approve of Obama’s job performance, and less than a third believe the nation is headed in the right direction, according to the most recent Washington Post-ABC News poll. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-ratings-sink-to-new-lows-as-hope-fades/2011/09/05/gIQAIytZ5J_story.html

“I just want all these liberal, progressive agendas to be robustly debated. Otherwise, there will be a de facto blackout of their discussion” during next year’s campaign, Nader said.

2. Who is funding this primary "challenger"?

3. No.

Don't they need to get signatures to get on the ballot by a certain time? And they only have a couple months left to get on in NH or Iowa or those early states.

Seems they would need to be up and running.

4. Ralph STFU, no one cares anymore

Your help in 2000 is about all I can use in this lifetime. How about you start to comment on how the Republicans have Fucked Up the country with your help.
