The Oregonian reports this morning that Ralph Nader failed last night to get the
needed 1,000 persons to attend a nominating meeting that would have put him on
the Oregon ballot in November. Only 750 people showed up.
Nader blamed the poor turnout on the NCAA men's basketball championship game
that night, the short notice leading up to the rally, and 'Monday's being a bad
night to get people to leave their homes.'
In 2000, a Nader rally drew 10,000 here. There's still a chance Nader can
qualify for the ballot by getting 15,000 signatures on a nominating petition.
