The former third-party candidate for President and Connecticut native Ralph Nader is considering a run to challenge embattled Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT) for his U.S. Senate seat.
However, Nader announced that he is gauging the reactions from those around him and the state’s disapproval of Dodd’s job before he makes any formal announcement.
The man once referred to as the Democrat’s spoiler in the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections in which Republican George W. Bush narrowly claimed victory in the Electoral College, is now being praised as a possible savior for the Democrats in Connecticut.
At a recent promotional book signing for his new manuscript, “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!” residents held signs pleading, “Run Ralph, Run” for the once national political scapegoat.
The state’s Green Party is also eager to convince Nader to challenge Dodd as the best chance for the party to claim a Senate seat in Connecticut in the foreseeable future.
