Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader says he's not upset his former running mate, Ojibwe activist Winona La Duke, has endorsed Sen. John Kerry (D-Massachusetts).
"She's her own person. She can make her own decisions," Nader was quoted as saying.
Nader said he hasn't spoken to LaDuke to find out why she endorsed Kerry. "She thinks that Kerry's not as bad as Bush," he was quoted as saying.
LaDuke endorsed Kerry, saying he has "vision" for Indian Country.
