If Thompson was "too late" when he got in, how can Nader be OK now?
Because Thompson was running as a Republican. Nader would presumeably be running as an independent so he has no need to compete in the Primaries.

Nader is incredibly unlikely to get many votes that matter in any state that matters. If the state is at all in play every Democrat need only remember 2000. People who might vote for Nader in Florida in 2008 are probably too far left to vote for a Democrat at all. Their choices are Nader or stay home, which makes them politically irrelevant.
We still hope that Bloomberg runs though. He's got the money and the clout to hand McCain the Whitehouse on a silver platter.

If Australia can do LNG power so can we.
Domestically produced energy will end recession and spur the economy.
