Ralph Nader – Hero or Ego? | Chris Heuer’s Inystes
Chris covers Ralph Nader’s announcement that he’s running for president. Again. Seriously Ralph, give it up man. As Chris points out, if Ralph honestly wanted to get the word out, why isn’t he jumping all over the social media opportunities he has in front of him (many of them free or cheap) to get the word out. Perhaps his ego has overtaken his own desire to affect change? Sad, considering that this time in the world is the best possible time for him to actually spread his message!

Something to crowdsource the process.
