Ralph Nader Joins the Race

By Mike Arnold on Tuesday, February 24, 2004.

Ralph Nader is throwing his hat into the Presidential race as an Independent candidate. He made the announcement over the weekend on Tim Russert's "Meet the Press". Nader campaigned in 2000 as the Green Party candidate. He nearly upset Bush in Florida and many view him as the spoiler that helped Al Gore lose the election. Mike's guest is Linda Fowler, Director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College. We'll also hear from Andy Smith, Director of the UNH Survey Center; Pam Walsh, Press Secretary for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, and Jayne Millerick, Chairperson for the New Hampshire Republican State Committee.

We'll also hear from Katherine Welch, news director at NPR affiliate KBIA in Columbia, Missouri; Dr. Gary Copeland, director of the Carl Albert Congressional Research Study Center at Oklahoma University in Norman; and Mark Moran, reporter at public radio station KJZZ in Tempe, Arizona.

Throughout the primary season, political observers criticized Dean's weblog, online fundraising, and internet "meet-ups", saying the campaign was more virtual than real.

But as NHPR's Raquel Maria Dillon reports, the energy on the ground in New Hampshire was real, but will it last?
