Then let's start from that point.  You elaborations of your position 
below are very welcome, and on many points we agree.

My goal when I responded to you and LP was to break open what I saw as 
an opaque, "DEAD" pronouncement, and get into the details of what was 
meant by that.  I wasn't trying to score debate points, but to counter 
what I still think is an lopsided analysis of the 2004/2008 nomination 
processes.  John Walsh's piece is an example of what I was looking for, 
tho I disagree with his conclusion.  My apologies if my approach was 
overly vulgar and punchy, and apparently clumsy.

You mentioned the November 5th movement, as did John.  I signed up, but 
I don't see any effort being made to build a replacement national 
political party.  Nader also has said he does not intend to do so. 
John's suggestion is that the GPUS state parties break off from the 
GPUS, but doesn't say what happens next.
