I'll take this as a good sign.

Nader, Kerry to Discuss Defeating Bush

While stressing that he is still a competitor in the race, the independent presidential hopeful said he views his candidacy as a "second front against Bush, however small."

...

At the same time, Nader prodded Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, to push traditional Democratic values of helping working families. He said the Democrats in general need to be reminded of that.

Say what you want to about him (no, really, go ahead), but there's no denying that both parties are more beholden to corporate America than they should be.

Still, despite what Nader says, there's a world of difference between Kerry or Gore and Bush. And I'm talking a world like Jupiter. Big ol' gas giant. That kind of world.

The best thing Nader could do is stay in for a while, keep the heat on Bush and remind the Democrats of what they're supposed to be about.

And then get out.

Because Ezra's right. Nader's great at causes, but he would just suck as a President.
