Maybe no American has had as much impact on - or as much to say about - our Presidential elections in recent years as Ralph Nader. The longtime consumer advocate and Winsted Native ran third-party races for President in 2000, 2004 and 2008, but decided not to run this year. Instead, he’s been intensely critical of both major parties, themedia’s coverage of the race, and the series of debates which regularly leaves out third-party candidates.

Yesterday, he hosted a “third party” debate in Washington, DC. He joins us by phone.
