It's a shame that the public which watches the mainstream media has been forced into making their primary choices so soon that its almost as if the election had sort of already taken place. Ron Paul had virtually won all of the Republican debates without much effort and his message is so clear. Yet, all we seem to ever want is a popularity contest. Why does all consensus have to be manufactured so quickly. We chould never be done debating and discussing issues.

Ralph Nader is a candidate who, not unlike yourself, campaigns outside of the mainstream. What are your thoughts on his entering the race?
I think it's fine. It's interesting. I think he represents some of the Democratic principles better than the Democratic candidates themselves. And I actually believe him when he says he doesn't want this war. Even though I disagree with him on some other issues, at least he stands for what he believes in. But he will be marginalized--he won't be able to get into the debates, because we don't have a true democracy in this country. The two parties are essentially the same, and a Libertarian candidate, a Green Party candidate, Ralph Nader--they are going to get nothing. Unless of course they are Ross Perot and have $10 billion, in which case they put you right in front on TV. The media isn't really interested in issues, they are more interested in notoriety.
