Also the criteria to be listed on the ballot varies by state. Some states
like Louisiana only require a $500 fee. Other states require as much as 6000
signatures and a fee. Ralph Nader is is well aware of this because the Dems are
using the differences as a stumbling block to try to keep him off ballots in
certain key states.

A consultant is "anyone with a briefcase who is 50 miles away from home." Or,
"someone who borrows your watch, tells you the time and then charges you for
the privilege." The truth? A consultant is a person with gray hair and
hemorrhoids. The gray hair makes you look distinguished. The hemorrhoids make you
look concerned.
