Problem with Nader is that he never developed a coherent vision that could capitalize on the legitimacy he gained after his work on car safety. Sad to say that although the man is persistent, it's not so clear that he's innovative. In that respect, I don't think he's the best person to be judging whether or not Gates' work is innovative or will be effective.
Nader's old, and the new methods of social entrepreneurship, microfinancing / microenterprise have all gone over his head.
