Well, he talked about Israel/Palestine, and how "it" was a third rail issue. But Israel/Palestine itself isn't the issue, people talk about that all the time.

He seemed defensive when he said "oh, no, not at all." Even compared to Dean, Nader also seemed way out of his league.

I think he gave a really lame answer for "why didn't you participate in the Democratic primaries?" his answer was a non answer: "freedom." Huh? Kucinich seemed to do a fine campaign, and actually Kucinich makes a Nader campaign seem redundant. Kucinich already talked about these issues in the debates, and even the Democrats weren't interested. I can't really regret my MA vote for Nader, but had I been in Florida, I probably would have.

Yeah, about the stock phrases: I want my President to pass the Turing test. Bush seems to fail that himself (link not handy, but I'm sure you saw his interview with a hard-hitting Irish reporter from a couple of weeks ago).
