I'm actually glad he's running.

I could see myself voting for him over McCain -- mostly depending on the type of campaign McCain runs.

I can't see him pulling more off the right than Nader will off the left. They'll probably cancel each other out.

You gotta hand it to him... the guy is unencumbered with the inconvenience of having any real convictions.

There's quite a few people on the right flipping out over that. Why in the world would he do that? He's alienating his base again.

See my answer above:

The guy doesn't have any firm convictions. He says whatever sounds good to him at the time.
