Third party candidate stirs up what's left of the left

Democrats were mad this week. Sen. Hillary Clinton said "Shame on you Barack Obama" for sending out mailings that she said were "blatantly false." She criticized Obama for borrowing some lines from a supporter/governor's speech. And then there was the tactical Texas debate, which mainly focused on Clinton and Obama's differences in policies. But what really stirred things up for the party was Ralph Nader.
On Monday, he decided to through his hat into the ring as a third party candidate. He's been on the ballot as a third party presidential candidate for the past three elections. Clinton and Obama believe that he's going to lose the Democratic Party the presidential election, but Nader defends his decision to run and insists that people aren't and shouldn't be happy with Clinton and Obama. He will most likely be on the ballot in November as an Independent.
