CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Supporters of Ralph Nader believe they've gathered enough signatures to get the independent presidential candidate on West Virginia's ballot for the general election.
The Charleston Gazette reports that petitions containing 7,500 signatures of state voters were submitted to the Secretary of State's Office on Friday. More than 17,000 signatures were turned in previously and county clerks across the state already have validated more than 12,000.
To get on the November ballot, Nader needs 15,118 valid signatures of registered West Virginia voters.
Albert Marino, state Nader campaign coordinator, told the newspaper that Nader has agreed to campaign in West Virginia. No dates have been set.
Aug. 1 is the deadline to submit petitions.

I think that it's a little too late now. But I also think that it is a poor sight what this GREAT country ,that I dearly love and many have died for, has to choose from when it comes to it's next leader!!!!

Take a look at the choices we have to choose from now. I believe anyone considering running should do so, I don't care who they are. It could not be worse than the choices we now have to face and live with now! Obama is a big gamble to choose (in many ways) and makes me feel a bit uneasy about what the future holds for us. And McCain is questionable, if things will in fact change or not or just stay as they are now. At this point I would consider ANYONE who wanted to run for president!
