Nader thinking about challenging Dodd

I hope he does it, it will make the Connecticut Senate race very interesting:

Former independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader is mulling a run against Sen. Chris Dodd (D) in Connecticut, according to a report.
Nader, the 2000 and 2004 Green Party candidate for president, is “absorbing” the prospects of waging an independent candidacy against Dodd in 2010

Would love to see a debate between the three candidates. Maybe Dodd can explain his Countrywide loan agreement.

One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1.   She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life.  A few days before she died, one of her docto

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments. The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others. Through it, I have seen people reach out

I like the idea of a third party to break up the duopoly we now have. But the current voting system ensures that a third party tends to produce a perverse outcome. The third party candidate will split the vote with the candidate he is ideologically closest to and elect the candidate farthest from him.
The 2000, 1992, 1912 elections could all be considered examples of this effect. There are other voting systems such as the Borda count which don’t produce this result, but we’re not using that system.
