Yet another White House hopeful plans on visiting Nebraska. On the heels of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s visit to Omaha on Sunday, presidential candidate Ralph Nader will come to the city.

A campaign spokesman says Nader will speak Friday evening at the Scott Conference Center in Omaha.

Last month, Secretary of State John Gale said Nader’s campaign turned in enough petition signatures to put Nader on the Nebraska ballot. Nader is on the ballot in 45 states and the District of Columbia.

" Nader is a waste of time and money for all of us. He will never be president. They don't even invite him to the debates. "

" You've got to be kidding me! If Nader upsets Obama's chances for winning the 2nd Congressional District Electoral Vote, to say that I would be furious is an understatement. Nader, the joke is on you now. Go home and laugh one off. "

" Go Ralph! You were the only one of the three major candidates for President to warn repeatedly of the excesses of Wall Street, that led to the massive $700 billion bailout so far, with more likely to be requested by the tycoons, as detailed on www.votenader.org . We need you as President! "

" If "Nader is a waste of time and money for all of" you, then, what does Nebraska mean in national politics? "
