Did They Err?

I just surfed through a mess of news reports on Ralph Nader announcing his candidacy today. I was struck by how many of them, like the Associated Press in all its photo captions, identified him as "Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader." (There's an example here if they haven't fixed it by now.) No, he's not. Someone else will be the Green Party nominee and Nader, if he gets on any ballots, will be on as an Independent. Odd mistake for them to make, especially since that matters an awful lot to the candidacy.
