I guarantee you that if he runs again, Nader won't draw even half the votes he did in 2000...of course, Nader has already gone on record as saying that if Dean had won the nomination, he (Nader) wouldn't run at all, whereas he probably would if Kerry got the nom, which seems likely now. I don't think he's said anything one way or the other about Edwards.

OT: Nader Again?

Hah! I bet he is on the take from the GOP, though maybe he doesn't know it.

He didn't just draw votes from Gore directly , he likely also dragged Gore a bit further from center than he would have gone on his own pushing, some Gore votes to Bush. If I were Dick Cheney and Karl Rove (and that means their level of rationalized morality too) I would see to it that Nader found some $ and encouragment.
