On MSNBC, via Wonkette, Ralph Nader ended his presidential campaign today by hosting a press conference at which the long-time advocate for public disclosure gave one-word answers to every question he was asked. It’s the kind of terseness you usually see only at pointless award ceremonies, and apparently it comes in handy at the end of pointless campaigns too:

The stilted question-and-answer session felt at times like a bad game of “Jeopardy.” Reporters played along with little protest and reached for questions that led to one-word answers. Many even started asking one-word questions, though that wasn’t in the rules.

But there were some telling moments. Here’s a sampling:

What is your opinion of Obama? “Clever.”

What is your opinion of Palin? “Developing.”

And so on. In a word: Eh.

Ralph Nader’s campaign is looking to collect $100,000 by the end of the day to fund something called “Nader Media,” which will allow supporters to continue to document Nader’s run for office. Currently, the campaign has collected just under $90,000, leaving ten grand left to raise. According to a press release from “The Nader Team,” “That’s just 1,000 of you—our loyal supporters—contributing $10 each now.”

Just one ten dollar bill: Not too shabby!

At an Aug. 27 rally in Denver, Nader gathered a scrumptious cornucopia of celebrity backers—Penn. Morello. Biafra. Kilmer—to help galvanize supporters and their Hamiltons. Like a self-promotional dust-buster, the event drew other, lesser celebrities out of the woodwork. Writes the Team: “When we asked for donations, Brooke Smith, star of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, rose out of the crowd, took the stage, pledged her support—and $4,600—to the Nader/Gonzalez campaign.”

$4,600 sure sounds impressive, but then again, that’s just 460 $10 bills.

Tonight, Nader will not only stage a rally, but a “Super Rally,” pulling out even superer celebs: Sheehan. Ventura. Rovics*—in an attempt to get to the $100,000 mark—only 10,000 $10 bills.

The Super Rally costs $12 (1.2 $10 bills).
