...no wonder Nader haunts back in...

Neither Hillary nor Barack have come forth with the sharp vision and boldness that this nation needs to change its direction. They argue fairly small issues in the interest of short term tactics...not to establish vision-making Strategic policy this nation dramatically needs.
Bush, Cheney and the Corporate Robber Barons in Congress, have this nation on a break-down course as they have instituted Federal Government as a Corporate Support. And McCain promises more Reaganomics - a death trap for a nation spinning out of Western leadership and become a dependency patient to Arab oil and Chinese expansion.
It is not "the economy stupid" because it is a far more integrated issue: Federal Strategic Leadership needs to drive the nation into massive and swift programs to both build a Green Economy [unshackled from MidEast oil domains], and leave the UN to rot & build a new Global Union for Peace and Reconstruction of the Planet. These are strategic needs that have only emergency magnitudes. Neither Democrat has this imagination nor comprehensive fire. Perhaps only Albert Gore or Joe Biden have it.
...but out of this black hole spews forth the valiant and boring Nader. If this nation cannot understand that large global corporations are sucking the blood out of the American body politic and that it is time for them to be called to strict accountability and either become part of the solution or be nationalized...then nothing in the Federal Government will change. Nader has some clear analysis...but he cannot lead this nation because he does not have the energy nor depth of experience.
Barack...play it safe; preach to the choir evangelical music. You will be the Democratic nominee. But without a bold and comprehensive Strategy for America and one that will call America to a realism of true sacrifice, you have no right to be President.
Barack will you confront Putin and rebuild America's military?
Barack will you press for true Energy Independence against all the US oil Robber Baron Corporadoes?
Barack will you halt the massive influx of immigrants that drag this nation into massive budget crises in State after State?
Barack will you massively recharge America's education system with new investment in high tech vocational education, more teachers and massive educational grants so the middle class of America can send their young to college programs of excellence?
Barack will you confront Iranian fascism and take it for the deadly serious threat it is?
We await a definition of you as more than a safe player and an imagist.
