04/17/2002 Entry: "Ralph Lives!"
During the last election, Ralph Nader attempted to use his ticket to get into the presidential debates going on at the University of Massachusetts campus. He was denied entrance by a security guard, and decided to take action. Nearly 7 months later, he has settled the suit with the debate commission and the security consultant each paying $25,000.
What's still unclear is the relationship between the separate issues here (him watching the debate versus actually participating). Obviously the folks at the debate commission wouldn't be so foolish as to bar him from another debate (as an audience member). But I don't know that this settlement will further his cause in 2004 if he chooses to run for the presidency again and attempts to be a part of the national debates.
