The Dingbat Party Presidential Candidates

Congressman and Ex-mayor Dennis J. Kucinich -
"Crusader" Ralph J. Nader - He's always a threat, but most folks have long since written him off as the dingbat who put George W. Bush into office in the first place, while acting as a spoiler in the ill-fated 200 Presidential election.
