Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader expects New Mexico to be the first state where he qualifies for the ballot.
Nader said this week in an interview with 770 KKOB’s political reporter Peter St. Cyr that he expects that to happen, and the campaign is also focused on making Arizona the second state where it qualifies for the ballot.
Nader raised more than $12,000 in a couple of days earlier this month to send campaign workers to New Mexico to gather signatures and get him on the ballot. Nader needs some 7,000 signatures from registered voters in New Mexico to appear on the ballot in November.
Nader has made New Mexico an early and primary focus of his campaign. Expect his candidacy to be part of the debate here this year. New Mexico continues to be one of the most interesting states for politics in 2008.
Nader also spoke with KKOB about New Mexico’s strengths and challenges, and its governor. He talked about the presidential campaign and the Democratic and Republican candidates. And he shared his campaign platform.
