John Rentoul blogs for The Independent:
"The man is the Tony Benn of American politics, whose egotism and cult of left-wing purity has been an utter disaster for the values he affects to espouse."
I have to agree with a comment on this post that if Ross Perot hadn't run in 1992, Clinton would have lost to GHW Bush. But I don't agree with the commenter's point of view that we can't be happy about that and yet decry Nader's run. For one thing, there was a real feeling in the air that Perot could win. He was a serious candidate trying to win, at least. Nader has never been that.
