Please, Mr. Nader, just give it up

Ever since Republicans started funding efforts to put Ralph Nader on the ballot, his signature gathering has been a mess. Pennsylvania is the latest in a long procession of states that have refused to put Nader on the ballot due to signature fraud. In fact, James G. Colins, the presiding judge in the Pennsylvania Commonweath Court, wrote, "I am compelled to emphasize that this signature-gathering process was the most deceitful and fraudulent exercise ever perpetrated upon this court"--and Colins has served longer and reviewed more nominating papers than any judge in the court's history.

Mr. Nader, you made your point back in 2000. If you have a point now, it would be better served by your withdrawing from the race.
