On the fringes

While Ralph Nader does his usual act and gets the media to pay attention to his 'will I or won't I seek to get my ego massaged again this year?' act, a more interesting development on the fringes of the US presidential race isn't being noticed.

Judge Roy Moore, former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, who lost his job over his desire to display the Ten Commandments at his courthouse, is reportedly considering running for President as the candidate of the Constitution Party.

Now, this could turn into yet another fringe run for the Presidency that doesn't affect the outcome at all but who knows? It could provide an interesting challenge to Bush from the heart of the Christian Right, perhaps paralleling the effect Nader had on the Democrats in 2000.
