Ralph Nader

Independent candidate Ralph Nader may not end up in the presidential history books after this year's race, but he will end up in the Guiness Book of World Records.

The Boston Globe reported Sunday that Nader's campaign said 74 year-old completed his 21-stop campaign tour through the Bay State Saturday, a feat that could earn him the Guiness record for most campaign speeches in a day.

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader is set to embark on a 21-stop tour of Massachusetts on Saturday, the Berkshire Eagle reports.

Nader is slated to start the day in Westfield at 8:10 a.m. and finish in Sheffield at 10:50 p.m., according to the Eagle.

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is leading Colorado by 7 percentage points over Republican opponent John McCain, according to a Time/CNN poll released Wednesday.

Obama led McCain in Colorado 50-43 in the poll; Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr polled 3 percent, independent candidate Ralph Nader polled 3 percent, and Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney polled 1 percent.

Asked to choose just between the Republican and Democratic presidential tickets, 51 percent of those polled said they supported Obama  and running mate Joe Biden;  47 percent chose McCain and his vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

The poll was conducted Oct. 11-14 among 762 likely voters in Colorado. The survey's margin of error was +/- 3.5 percent.

Nader first addressed the press before speaking to the crowd that half-filled the Unitarian Universalist Church on Congress Street. He offered a number of bitter comments about energy policy, the recent bailout, and this year’s general political climate. He scolded the first reporter to use the term “spoiler”.

“I will not tolerate political bigotry from the fourth estate. The premise of that is that we are second class citizens,” he said.

Nader is one of three third-party candidates running for president this year, along with Libertarian Bob Barr and Green Cynthia McKinney.

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul may have felt like a "party of one" as a Republican presidential candidate, but he is encouraging voters to support four minor party presidential candidates instead of Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. At a National Press Club press conference Wednesday, Paul said voters should consider Cynthia McKinney of the Green Party, Bob Barr of the Libertarian Party, Independent candidate Ralph Nader or Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party.

In addition to showing U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) with a 5 point advantage (48 percent to 43 percent) over U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), today's TIME/CNN poll also suggests that Obama's chances in the Keystone State may be boosted by the presence of third-party candidates on the ballot.

A new TIME/CNN poll suggests that independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader could draw enough votes from U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to affect the outcome of the vote in Nevada.

A TIME/CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released today suggests that independent candidates could swing the election in Colorado.
