Off and Running

"The candidate will cite the long list of failures, neglected duties, corruptions, high crimes and misdemeanors that have attached to the lame-duck administrators of a nation that is stuck in a Middle East quagmire, descending into recession and seemingly incapable of addressing even the most pressing human needs--a nation now so badly off course that three-quarters of its citizens tell pollsters 'America is headed in the wrong direction.' And, of course, Nader will suggest that if a Republican president and vice president choose not to resign, then a Democratic House and Senate should impeach and try them--moves that substantial pluralities, and in some cases majorities, of Americans tell pollsters are now appropriate."

John Nichols in The Nation checks in with Ralph Nader.
