|
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 presidental 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.
