I admit that in 2008 he was in it to educate and not in it to win. This time though I think he genuinely believes he has a chance to win this. There is a huge difference between how his campaign is operating now compared to 2008. He also is not running for reelection to congress so that he can focus 100% on the presidential campaign.

I believe he has far more support than you give him credit for and certainly way more than Ralph Nader ever has had. We'll see how it goes, but I am optimistic.
