Ralph Nader may make the ballot here in Montana for the 2008 Presidential election according to an Associated Press article.
This can’t be good news for Barack Obama.
In the 2000 General Election, “Green Party” candidate Ralph Nader took 6% of the vote in Montana. Nader received 24,437 votes, by far the strongest showing for a third party candidate for President in Montana that year. Nader took 15% of the vote in Missoula County in 2000.
In the 2004 General Election, “Independent” candidate Nader received 6,168 votes, again the strongest showing for a third party candidate.

Anon: If Libertarian Bob Barr makes it on the ballot in Montana, I think it will definitely help Obama, probably more than Nader will help McCain here.The last example of this was in 2006, Libertarian candidate Stan Jones help propel Democrat Jon Tester to victory over Republican Conrad Burns by 3562 votes in the U.S. Senate race. Jones received 10,377 votes in the three-way race. -Jack
I wonder how much of the vote Barr will take from McCain in Montana.
