WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Consumer activist and Connecticut native Ralph Nader says he’s “absorbing” the feedback he’s receiving about a possible bid for the U.S. Senate, saying he wants to first gauge the level of grassroots support before making a decision.
Nader appeared Friday at a booksigning at the Noah Webster Library in West Hartford.
The Connecticut Green Party is trying to persuade the party’s former presidential candidate to challenge Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd in the hotly contested 2010 Senate race.
Tim McKee, the state party spokesman, says he’s receiving positive responses from across the nation. He says there are Internet pages on social networking sites springing up, dedicated to convincing Nader to run.
Nader divides his time between Winsted and Washington, D.C.

Look what conventionality and traditin got us.
If we put into action what Ralph Nadar said a long time ago we would be better off.
Many don`t hear or absorb what he says because they delete his ideas from their minds before he is finished because he is not handing down the same old same old.
Folk are scardy cats when someone is warning them they are on the wrong track.
That means they have to do something about it,first realize they have been decived,that gets them angry and it is easier to just be led to the slaughter numb to what is really going on around them.
If we don`t wake soon from this political hypnotic deciving slumber,our children and grandchildren will suffer,and we will be to blame because we could do something.
Then we choose not to because of greed which comes from fear,because we have absolutly no security because we can`t trust anyone.
I have seen family members betray other family members and if you think a stranger wont betray you when your own family memer will,then you really are hypnotized.
What we have now is all talk and no action.
They promise you everything until they are elected and tomorrow is just like yesterday.
Ralph Nadar has been around long enough to see the vallys and hills past the mountians when everyone can only see their wine glass in front of them.and sit around and whine.
Like an old farmer and a young farmer .
The old farmer says to the young farmer there is a problem with the roots of your crop,the young farmer does nothing and has no harvest.
The next year the same story this time the young farmer absorbs what the old farmer has told him from experience and the young farmer has a plentyful bounty at harvest.
Dodd like to pacify us with lies

Please explain how a vote for Nader makes you part of a 'lunatic fringe,' also please define that phrase.
So many careers and jobs were lost or misplaced because of his stupid book that our Congressional leaders of the time embraced as fact.
You've failed to answer the question, because you cannot ANSWER the question. I call shenanigans.
'His published inaccuracies have been largely unchallenged.'
State his inaccuracies, and how they are in fact, inaccurate.
'Nader does owe the engineers and workers who designed and manufactured the Corvair and apology by the way he maligned that automobile in his book "Unsafe at Any Speed"'
You mean the same apology that Nader received from the auto manufactures after they ran a smear campaign against him?
'He is the anti Christ after the people that voted for him helped to elect GW Bush.'
Gore's lousy campaigning, lackluster platform and ineptness at recounts allowed Bush to win.
'We the voters will never forget what he did. He could not win, so he staied in to be a spoiler and that is just what he did in a grand fashion.'
I see. So because your man with no plan, couldn't beat Bush, who had an equally worse platform, you wish to demonize actual parties and candidates who can make a change? You make even the other illogical people on here seem logical.
