"Ralph Nader announced this morning his choice of a running mate&amp;#8212;and it&amp;#39;s not his own ego! Nader, in fact, announced that his running mate would be Matt Gonzalez, to the wonderment and amusement of 99% of political reporters and the country who have no idea who that is.\nLuckily, this political watcher has a long memory and a keen eye for the few attractive politicians in the world. Matt Gonzalez is the former President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and a Green Party member. In 2003, he waged an ultimately unsuccessful campaign for mayor of San Francisco against incumbent Gavin Newsom, but only lost the run-off election by 15,000 votes of the more than 250,000 cast. Although he reportedly retreated from political life after his term on the Board of Supervisors ended in 2005, Gonzalez moderated the Green Party President debate in January. Nader, at the time an undeclared candidate, committed to the debate but then refused to actually debate the other participants because he didn&amp;#39;t want to have to comply with Federal Election Committee rules about being a candidate. They let him give a speech anyway.\nDespite that tiny little snafu and the resounding hatred of many liberals for Nader these days, he and Matt are going to make a go of it and try to get John McCain elected! Oh, those crazy kids. Do you think they&amp;#39;ll tell Americans (and liberals) that there&amp;#39;s no difference between the Democrats and Republicans again? More importantly, do you think it will work?\n&amp;#8212;Megan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
