Ralph Nader has thrown his hat into the presidential ring for the fourth time.

While Nader has taken votes from the Democratic party in the past, Missouri Democrats say they are not concerned.

Jack Cardetti is the spokesman for the Missouri Democratic Party.

 

Actuality:  JACK1.WAV
Run Time: 00:12
Description: "You know, every four years have leap year, we have the summer Olympics, and we have Ralph Nader running for President. So I can't imagine there are too many Missourians excited about Ralph Nader making another ill advised run."

It will take ten thousand signatures by the end of July to get Nader on Missouri's ballot.

From the state capitol, I'm Courtney Cox.
