This probably won’t break for a while on the networks and other news services, but UDNS has been a small, but pretty reliable news service in the past. All this has happened during what appears to have been a bizarre night.
Election 2008 — All Hell Has Broken Loose In Washington
In a stunning set of developments that occurred all within 45 minutes of each other, the two top candidates for the Democratic nomination and the presumptive Republican nominee have drop out of the race for the White House. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D), Sen. Barack Obama (D) and Sen. John McCain (R) have each made speeches between 2:30am and 3:15am EDT stating that because of soon to be released information, they are withdrawing from their respective campaigns.
For reasons that are not yet fully understood, an unprecedented, highly volatile meeting between the three candidates and their party’s leaders resulted in a compromise that will see Ralph Nader, consumer activist and independent candidate for the office, be the only name to appear on the November election for either party. In short, without Sen. McCain and either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama on the ticket, Nader will become the next President of the United States.
Ron Paul in ’08
More proof there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties.
He still wouldn’t win, even running unopposed. My guess is the “Mickey Mouse” campaign would beat him by a landslide.
Nader the only candidate? Are we forgetting about the Green Party? Kat Swift for President?
