A lot of people condemn Nader for running because he might "spoil" the election for the Democrats, but there is an even more important issue that I believe goes to the very heart of what is missing in all of Nader's campaigns.
This is an issue that Nader often tries to sidestep, but which really challenges him to back up his claim that his campaign is about opening up the doors to more voices and parties. I really hope the press and voters will pick up on this issue and push Nader consistently to address it head-on during this campaign.
I've written about it in a very short piece called The Key Issue Suspiciously Missing from Ralph Nader's "Table".
