Perennial also-ran Ralph Nader is planning to hold a rally at both the Democratic and Republican conventions aimed at securing him a place in this year’s presidential debates. Nader’s “Super Rallies” are scheduled for Aug. 27 in Denver, where the Democrats are gathering, and Sept. 4 in Minneapolis during the Republican convention. The Nader campaign said in a release that it is expecting 5,000-7,000 people at the rally in Denver. The campaign is asking attendees to contribute $10 for an advance ticket and $12 at the door. Many Democrats still blame Nader for President Bush’s win over former Vice President Al Gore in 2000. |
