I agree with both of you. If Ralph Nader were interested in being anything other than a "political social gadfly" he'd have put himself in the race much sooner, allowing for a closer, fresher? examination of his issues.

Pragmatically, if primary voting patterns continue to hold as they are, (D's significantly outpacing R's in primaries/caucuses) Nader won't have the ability to impact 2008 as he did 2000.

He probably won't impact McCain's numbers significantly; and while most people won't take Nader seriously, he will stand to left of Obama on most issues, which, Obama strategists may try to use in their race to the middle, where all U.S. elections are won.
