Nader Gives Hillary Clinton Moral Support To Continue Fighting To Convention
The news-cycle over the past few days has been filled with some Democratic bigwigs, unnamed sources and others hinting or flatly clamoring for Hillary Clinton to get out of the 2008 Democratic race since they contend she doesn’t have a realistic chance. But now she’s getting moral support to stay in from a former Presidential candidate — but it’s unlikely to impress Democratic Superdelegates:
Senator Clinton:
Just read where Senator Patrick Leahy is calling on you to drop out of the Presidential race.
Believe me.
I know something about this.
Here’s my advice:
Don’t listen to people when they tell you not to run anymore.
That’s just political bigotry.
Listen to your own inner citizen First Amendment voice.
This is America.
Just like every other citizen, you have a right to run.
Whenever you like.
For as long as you like.
It’s up to you, Hillary.
Just tell them –
It’s democracy.
Get used to it.
Yours truly,
Ralph Nader
To Superdelegates, will Nader’s comments represent this?

That's the risk she takes if she stays in to the bitter end – becoming the Ralph Nader of '08. There's still some time before it gets that bad though. But the tone of the campaign has to change (OK, on both sides to some degree), or it'll happen sooner rather than later.
I just want to practice

It's loads of fun.
Really.

pacatrue, the style does kind of remind me of that “we are anonymous” video attacking Scientology!

Hmmm… here's my stab at Hillary's response to Nader:
Dear Greatest Nadir:
I just read your letter in support of my WH bid.
Believe me.
I would love to go against you on the campaign trail.
I also take your advice seriously.
Therefore I am staying in the race.
So we can meet on that trail.
Perhaps share some trail mix…
You can give me straight salty pretzels.
And I'll give you peanuts.
When we're both running behind McCain.
I may even raise you a cashew or two.
This is politics in America under the Clinton rules.
As long as I get the nomination.
The Dems will stand behind me all the way.
Bill will make sure of that.
Unless his zipper problem expands.
Thank you for your kind support.
It takes all kinds to make a village.
Here's to happy trails.
Your BFF (at least until we part),
Billary
