Ralph Nader pines for Michael Bloomberg, Jim Hightower, others

…In a video interview, Nader said Bloomberg’s money would make it possible for him to take a stand against the two-party system…
“I’d like to see Bloomberg run. I’d like to see Jim Hightower run. I’d like to see Bill McKibben run. I’d like to see the champion of single-payer health care, Dr. Quentin Young, run,” Nader said.

Bloomberg? Seriously?
Yes, that’s pretty much what I have heard and read. No one is willing to throw themself under the truck. I don’t think this means there won’t be a Left opponent in the general. And I don’t mean the Greens. But I also think if the Occupy movement takes off, that may suck the energy out of a potential Left presidential campaign?
Does this mean that Nader has been unable to identify any candidates willing to primary Obama from the left?
