Former Ambassador backs Bush and Nader

| Readers 4

The most recent US Ambassador to Dublin Richard Egan, is still capable of making front page news in the Irish Times. Sean O’Driscoll reports on his donation to Ralph Nader’s presidential campaign, in hopes of splitting the Democratic vote as effectively as he did last time out.

I doubt we’ll see born again Democrat Michael Moore using his new blog to urge US voters to go for a split vote like he did in 2000.

Whilst we have the excuse to nod to that little event across the big sheugh, Jonathan Rauch has an interesting line to sell John Kerry and the Democrats. It’s worth reading, if only on the principle of disrupting your political opponent’s expectations.
