LOS ANGELES TIMES EDITORIAL:
 "...Does He Deserve to Be Heard? Yes"


?



Hey, America, want to hear
some secrets the mainstream media and political parties have been
keeping from you? There's a war going on in Iraq; President Bush passed
some tax cuts a while back that, combined with undisciplined spending,
have contributed to a ballooning national debt; and apparently the
price of oil has really started to degrade the nation's energy
situation. 


These are some of the obscure issues that
Ralph Nader, announcing his presidential candidacy on Sunday, promised
to drag out of the shadows. It's an interesting demonstration of why
he'll have a tough time mounting even a message-sending campaign this
year, but also of why he's a welcome addition to the race.


.  .  .

Anti-Naderists will argue that he doesn't
need to win to do damage; he merely needs to draw Democratic votes. If
he should succeed in doing that, though, more power to him. Anybody who
expects to become president of the United States had better be prepared
to face tougher adversaries than Ralph Nader. 




This is about as close as we'll get to a nod from the MSM. If
anything, it's a sign of how bad things are under the
Democrat-Republican duopoly.
