I'll have to read some of his stuff. A couple of weeks ago I listened to
the debate on trade that you talked about on your web site. It seemed
that secretary of trade Aarons (SP?) really nailed Nader a couple of
times during the debate while Nader continued to repeat the same old
anti-corporate line without any effective rebuttle. Because of this I'm
even more disinchanted with Nader than I was before the debate. 

If Kovel is as good as everyone says he is, we could see if we can get
him to run on another ticket. We are badly in need of a good protest
vote.
