THE ONE MULTI-MILLIONAIRE CANDIDATE WHO WON'T BE ATTENTING THE DEM CONVENTION: On Friday the Democratic Party announced that it was barring Ralph Nader from attending its convention this week.

"Given that Nader is running on the Pat Buchanan Reform Party ticket and is openly accepting both financial and organizational help from Republicans and their allies, the answer is no," Democratic National Committee spokesman Jano Cabrera said.

Buchanan, a conservative commentator, was the Reform Party's presidential candidate in 2000. The party has endorsed Nader this year.

Nader, who was informed of the Democrats' decision by CNN, said, "Is that what happened? Well, that's unfortunate."
