Dems try Hatchet Job on nader

If the Democratic Party in Arizona were having their people go and sign Nader's petitions with fraudulent names in order to later raise a claim that the petitions were invalid, I would think that was a pretty shitty thing to do. Since Nader hasn't said this in any of the coverage I've seen, and he's generally known as an able -- if somewhat deathly (hi Hank!) -- advocate, I tend to doubt this. I think it's more likely that, lacking an organization and not getting help this time from the Green Party. Nader recruited or hired people to collect the petitions who were in over their heads, and -- no doubt stymied by finding not a lot of support for Ralph in Arizona -- they made up a lot of names to fill out their quotas.
