Nader will run in Michigan

Quote:

July 24, 2004 — Consumer advocate Ralph Nader's quixotic presidential campaign says it submitted about 5,400 signatures to get on the Michigan ballot, far short of the required number of 30,000. Luckily for him, approximately 43,000 signatures were filed by Michigan Republicans on his behalf, more than meeting the requirement.

It was a matter of "close to September 11".

in theory it was due to the olympics and not wanting to be too close to the dem convention

It just occurred to me - that doesn't make much sense. It's hardly the first time that conventions and the olympics have shared a year - both being on four-year cycles and all.

you're right HM - that is why i said "in theory". in the end i don't really care, the conventions are an absolute waste of time and taxpayer money. and think of all the reality tv they are stealing time away from. we could be watching stupid real people doing semi-real things in an effort to get a lot of money instead of watching semi-real people doing stupid things to get a lot of ... oh nevermind.

Just following up on this thread - I should have followed up on the bet itself. It looks today like Nader beat Badnarik by about 20,000 votes - a tiny amount.
