PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Consumer advocate Ralph Nader announced yesterday he's running for president, a move that isn't likely to put him in the White House but that could shave votes from the Democratic nominee in November's election.
"His being on the Green Party prevented Al Gore from being the greenest president we could have had and I think that's really unfortunate," Clinton told reporters on her campaign plane yesterday.

Hillary's point is interesting. Nader, running because he didn't think the the mainstream candidates were green enough, prevented Gore - who would have been the greenest president to date - from winning.
So is he well intended? Or is it something more diabolical?
