He's Baaaaaaack!!!

BocaGuy: Nader is such a narcissitic spoilled brag. He enjoys screwing with the American system. He is not relevant anymore.

He’s older than John McCain, more liberal than Hillary Rodham Clinton and offers way more change than Barack Obama.

Ralph Nader announced on Sunday that he will run again for president. The perennial candidate is as easy to dismiss as he is to fear – if you’re a Democrat. He won more than 2.8 million votes nationwide in the 2000 race, and many Democrats will never give up believing that he threw the election to George W. Bush.

Nader would not have done this had John Edwards stayed in the running for the Democratic nomination. The two share much in common, not the least of which is Nader’s longstanding alliance with trial lawyers who have politically sustained Edwards, a former trial lawyer.

We could be witnessing why Obama should have tried a little harder to court Edwards. And why the Democratic frontrunner should not have dissed Nader, as Al Gore did eight years ago.

The spoiler is back.
