Naderites still say: ‘Ralph, don’t run!’
News Analysis
Jim Carpenter spearheaded the petition drive to place Ralph Nader on the Wisconsin ballot as the Green Party’s presidential nominee in 2000.
This year Carpenter is flatly opposed to Nader’s decision to run for president as an independent, a race that is certain to be seen as “Nader’s Folly.”
Carpenter, a teacher of economics at a Milwaukee community college, is active in the presidential campaign of Dennis Kucinich, the progressive Ohio lawmaker.
“The best way to advance a progressive agenda is to support Dennis Kucinich,” Carpenter told the World. “Kucinich does not create the problem of splitting the vote in November.

We can have a debate on where we need to go as a nation and still unite around the goal of defeating Bush in November.”
