“More than 100 people” turned out at Ralph Nader’s book signing in West Hartford and, as expected, the AP reports that “some of them” were holding signs calling on Nader to run for Senate. (Click here for our story last week on the grassroots effort to recruit Nader by the Connecticut Green Party.)
Nader remained undecided on a run, he told reporters after the signing. But he suggested the final decision rested in the hands of his supporters. From the AP:
“It really depends on what kind of momentum there is and how many people are willing to roll up their sleeves because I’m very accustomed to people saying ‘run Ralph run’ and then they drift away, predisposed and preoccupied with their daily life,” he told reporters. “It has to be bottom up.”
