Senator Nader? Former Presidential Candidate Considers Connecticut Run In 2010

Consumer activist and Connecticut native Ralph Nader said Friday he is "absorbing" the reaction he's receiving about a possible bid for the U.S. Senate, saying he wants to first gauge the level of grassroots support before making a decision.

Many people have called on Nader to jump into the hotly contested race to challenge Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd, who has been struggling in recent polls. Nader said he's getting increasingly more requests from Connecticut Green Party members, independents and supporters of Ned Lamont, the upstart Democrat who challenged Sen. Joe Lieberman in the 2006 election.

The more the merrier I say. Two Republicans are dropping out of the race. Tom Caliguri officially dropped out to run for the House, and Tom Foley is likely to drop out and announce his intention to run for the Governor's seat.

Nader still under the delusion that he is respected

Nader has become a joke. A shadow of his former self.

I do respect Nader but he's just another Socialist as far as i'm concerned. Anyone would be better than Dodd though i guess. Dodd represents everything that is wrong with our Government. He has been proven to be a despicable corrupt cretin. I couldn't vote for Nader but i would still take him over Dodd any day.

Nader should have stuck to consumer advocacy...

he's a megalomaniac.

And a dirty hippie. Literally. You can't imagine what it's like being in a room with him for more than a few seconds. If his joyous personality doesn't bowl you over, his fragrance will.
