Ralph Nader: Brand Irrelevant

Old time Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader is again trying to make a run (his fourth) for the White House. Besides mucking up an already protracted election process for the Democrats, doesn't he get he is no longer a relevant brand?

If you are younger than 40 likely you don't know who he is or know much if anything about what made the Ralph Nader "brand" a household name four decades ago.

Ralph: your brand is irrelevant. You haven't evolved one iota in years. For you to bring anything to the Presidential contest, you can't be using the old, tired, out dated brand strategy.

Change is desired and relevant to many Americans today. Change that reflects the times; times that have long left you behind.

"He thought that there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush, and, eight years later, I think people realize that Ralph did not know what he was talking about," Obama said at a town hall meeting Sunday.

 

Watching out for you everyday.

Comments

Nader's dauting confidence is quite impressive but voters say not impressive enough to earn him a place in the white house - concerned citizens ought to tell him that. Ralph Nader running for presidency is like climbing Mt. Everest using a slippery rope. I'm just saying, give it a rest.
