Nader’s Second Try In Oregon

Looks like Ralph Nader gave Oregon a second shot last Saturday. Nader hosted a convention to collect the 1,000 signatures to get his name on the ballot in November. State law dictates that Nader must gather those signatures at a single event and this time about 1,150 people showed up, compared to the paltry 750 who came to the April convention.

Results should be available in a few days. If Nader fails a second time to get on the ballot, he can still qualify if he gathers enough signatures during a summer signature gathering drive. However, it will be obvious that most of Oregon doesn’t give a crap about him any more.
