It appears that Ralph Nader has decided to once again run for president.
I think my reaction can best be summed up as follows: a great, big 'who cares?'

- I used to be a Technical Specialist on a U.S. Department of State contract. That meant that I got paid to travel to far-off, exotic locations and work on the computers in US embassies and consulates worldwide. Now I have transitioned to a much more challenging one. I am a biometrics system administrator working for Northrop Grumman (you know, the folks that bring you the B-2 bomber and Nimitz-class aircraft carriers) in Iraq. The base where I am deployed used to be an Iraqi Air Force base. Just before the war started, the Iraqis buried most of the planes in the sand. That's me in front of an Iraqi MiG-29 Fulcrum!

I couldn't agree more. On that topic, I read two things this morning that are very relevent to his run: (a) in 2004 he got something like 0.3% of the popular vote and (b) no independent candidate has ever increased their numbers year over year. I have no idea what this guy is thinking, but maybe he just suffers from a delusional sense of himself as a hero to the masses. Not that this wouldn't work, in principle, but Democrats like to rotate their delusional saviors every four years, and he's had his chance. This time it's Obama's turn to promise to fix all our problems with the magical powers of the Federal Government.
Jon,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I was reading something about his numbers today and that is right. His 0.3% showing in 2004 was down significantly from his 2.7% in 2000, so, again, you are correct in that it seems independents don't get stronger as time goes on. A columnist on National Review Online compared Nader to Harold Stassen. Ouch.
