Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water:

Ralph Nader is launching a third-party campaign for president. The consumer advocate made the announcement Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." He says most Americans are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties, and that none of the presidential contenders are addressing ways to stem corporate crime and Pentagon waste and promote labor rights.

Maybe he'll pick Mike Gravel for his VP. Or Ron Paul. Or the spirit of Harold Stassen.

Do I think this will siphon off some Democratic votes? Maybe. But if it does, shame on us. If this election comes down to Obama vs. McCain, that's choice enough for me.
