One Month Before the Greens Convention, The Choice Apparently Narrows

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Less than a month before 'FORWARD 2004!', the Green National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Green presidential primaries have apparently narrowed the choice to nominating David Cobb and endorsing Ralph Nader.

Mr. Cobb currently leads the count among all candidates seeking the nomination, with 158 of 835 possible Green delegates. However, with many delegates allocated to other candidates who have declared support for Ralph Nader and many other delegates uncommitted, endorsement of Mr. Nader remains a possibility.

The Green presidential nominee will appear on existing Green ballot lines in 23 states, and is expected to win ballot access in another dozen states.

(Obviously the article doesn't mention those Greens who are voting Dem at the federal level this time around.)

1. the Greens will nominate Nader, imo

3. Possibly. There's a huge debate over that in my own state

A "real" green vs. Nader's name recognition.

5. If Greens Nominate Nader

then it is over IMO and Bush will be reelected.

6. Is there a difference between "nominating" and "endorsing"

Why do they make the distinction in the article? If the Greens "endorse" Nader does that mean his name doesn't automatically go on all the ballots?
