With the number of possible nominees winding down, Green Party’s Ralf Nader announced this morning his entry into the presidential race.

After former Sen. John Edwards suspended his campaign a little over two weeks ago, Nader announced his formation of a presidential exploratory committee to gauge the funds and interest in him joining the 2008 race.

This morning on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Nader announced his candidacy saying, “A Jeffersonian revolution is needed in this country.”

According to CNN, “Nader’s entry into the race did not come as a surprise to political watchers.”

Nader has been blamed by many Democrats as the reason Gov. G.W. Bush won the 2000 Election.

Mr. Nader denied he was seeking to be a spoiler candidate - and accused the main parties of “political bigotry”.

“You take that framework of people feeling locked out, shut out, marginalized and disrespected,” he said. “You go from Iraq, to Palestine to Israel, from Enron to Wall Street, from Katrina to the bumbling of the Bush administration, to the complicity of the Democrats in not stopping him on the war, stopping him on the tax cuts.” AP Press

Nader jumping into the race is unlikely to change much for Sen. McCain on his road to the GOP nomination; however with the Democratic nomination yet to be secured, Nader’s move could affect the Democrats ability to rally together for the big election in November.
