I think it is up to the Green Party to build its own membership and
political strength, so that it can put someone like Nader to its use.
If Nader isn't a party man yet, make him a party man.

If the Green Party nominates David Cobb (see Cobb's "Green Party 2004
Presidential Strategy" at
<http://www.gwu.edu/%7Eaction/2004/cobb.html>) rather than Nader and
runs Cobb on a Green ticket against Nader running as an independent
this year, the party will do numerically worse than in 2000 and put
itself on a path away from political independence from the Democratic
Party.

Given a choice between Nader and Cobb, the Green Party should choose
Nader.

re. gp building its own membership and political strength, of course,
ain't nobody else gonna do it for gp (and historic junctures making
quantitative leaps possible are rare)...

re. above choice, doesn't look like much of one, greens very likely to
do numerically worse either way...   michael hoover (who, admittedly,
has never been on gp bandwagon)...
