Ralph Nader announced today on Meet the Press that he was running for a third time for the presidency. The reaction so far has been predictable.

IMHO, left-wing voters learned their lesson in 2000, even in Nader didn’t.

Where do you think a lot of the $$$$ Obama’s been spending comes from.

I think they come from small online contributions in contrast to the maxed out used up maximum contributions that have run out for Clinton.

Tell me–where do they come from? Could it be from

“latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust-fund babies.”

And can you find out for me why

Clinton refuses to release her tax returns
Clinton refuses to release the library contributions list
Clinton refuses to release 1.6 million docs from her failed health care plan that never got out of the White House

No Country for Hillary Clinton or Fiasco at Camp Clinton

Small Vendors Feel Pinch of Clinton’s Money Troubles

Somber Clinton Soldiers On as the Horizon Darkens

The Audacity of Hoplessness

According to Bill Clinton, states that don’t vote for Clinton are states that don’t need a President. It’s amazing that they still have starson the flag.

Bill Clinton knocked states that hold caucuses instead of primaries because “they disproportionately favor upper-income voters” who “don’t really need a president but feel like they need a change.” After the Potomac primary wipeout, Mr. Penn declared that Mr. Obama hadn’t won in “any of the significant states” outside of his home state of Illinois. This might come as news to Virginia, Maryland, Washington and Iowa, among the other insignificant sites of Obama victories. The blogger Markos Moulitsas Zúniga has hilariously labeled this Penn spin the “insult 40 states” strategy.

After promising a cakewalk to the nomination — “It will be me,” Mrs. Clinton told Katie Couric in November — she was routed by an insurgency.

This is the candidate who keeps telling us she’s so competent that she’ll be ready to govern from Day 1. Mrs. Clinton may be right that Mr. Obama has a thin résumé, but her disheveled campaign keeps reminding us that the biggest item on her thicker résumé is the health care task force that was as botched as her presidential bid.

No matter what the problem, she keeps rolling out another commission to solve it: a commission for infrastructure, a Financial Product Safety Commission, a Corporate Subsidy Commission, a Katrina/Rita Commission and, to deal with drought, a water summit.

Tom Buffenbarger of the machinists’ union, derided Obama supporters as “latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust-fund babies.” Even as he ranted, exit polls in Wisconsin were showing that Mr. Obama had in fact won that day among voters with the least education and the lowest incomes. Less than 24 hours later, Mr. Obama received the endorsement of the latte-drinking Teamsters.

Update II:

Michael just let me know in the comments that CBS is claiming a technical difficulty in New York:

60 Minutes Programming Note

February 24, 2008

We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring “The Prosecution of Don Siegelman.

Okay, call me cynical, but someone explain to me how a technical problem in New York can affect parts of Alabama – and Alabama only it seems at this point (the subject of the 60 Minutes broadcast) and ONLY during the Siegelman segment? So now we have selective glitches too? This is unacceptable, period. My newest response, and it gives you some context too, is here.

Update III:
Some of the Alabama blackouts are reported to have happened on Channel 19, which is owned by Oak Hill Capital Partners, owned by the Bass family of Texas. The others appeared to have happened on one Comcast channel.

Folks, I am busy working, can someone do some research and post in the comments?

Update IV:

Could this Bass family be the same family involved in George W. Bush’s Harken energy scandal? H/T to Hissy.

Update V:

From Melissa in the comments:

“CBS News in New York told Scott Horton “there is no delicate way to put this: the WHNT claim is not true. There were no transmission difficulties.”‘
