Nader in PA

"Judge Colins said the conduct of the Nader campaign "shocks the conscience of the court."

He said, "In reviewing signatures, it became apparent that in addition to signing names such as Mickey Mouse, Fred Flintstone, John Kerry and the ubiquitous Ralph Nader, there were thousands of names that were created at random and then randomly assigned either existent or nonexistent addresses by the circulators.""

Are you kidding me? The Nader campaign signed fake names for something so important as getting him on the ballot in PA? Now, I'm not a Nader supporter and would rather he not be on the ballot in PA, but this is just ludicrous. Whose bad idea was this??
