...Their rage is fired by a paradox: the champion of reform arguably gave birth to Dubya?s age of conservative reaction. That makes Nader a politician with a national following but few allies.

But Democratic Congressmen who worked with him to craft a generation of consumer and environmental law now close their doors to him.
