Nader a No-Go in Oregon

From WaPo:

The Oregon Supreme Court has ordered independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader off the state's Nov. 2 ballot. The decision, which overturned a lower court's ruling, upheld the decision of state elections officials this month to reject Nader's bid for the ballot in this battleground state, citing irregularities in his petitions. The Nader camp said it would appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2000, when he ran for president under the Green Party's banner, Nader won more than 77,000 voters in Oregon. Democrat Al Gore won the state by less than 1 percent of the vote.

But this year, Nader twice failed to take advantage of an unusual state law that would have allowed him to sidestep its 15,306-signature requirement by gathering 1,000 voters for a nominating convention. His petition officially fell 218 signatures short.

I enjoy seeing Ralph spin his wheels.
