February 5 - Interview produced by Mitch Jeserich [?] Ralph Nader has not declared his candidacy, yet he won the California's primary, the largest Green Party contest. Nader decided to 'explore' his candidacy on the day John Edwards, the anti-lobby, anti-corporate candidate, dropped his bid. Nader is well self- financed, well known, and well loved by many who support his corporate loathing ways. But is he spoiling it for a new generation of Green Party activists. Former US Representative Cynthia McKinney announced her candidacy in January. Now she is having to battle it out with a non-candidate to gain the Green Party nomination. KPFA's Mitch Jeserich spoke with Ralph Nader on his program Sunday Morning. photo by wickenden
