	David Cobb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Keith Cobb (born December 24, 1962 in San Leon, Texas) is an American ex-lawyer and activist, and was the 2004 presidential candidate of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS).

		David Cobb has been suspended from practicing law in Texas since 2003, which also happens to be well prior to his resignation as legal counsel for the Green Party of the United States.

	North Coast Journal - July 15, 2004: COVER STORY - The Candidate: Will Eureka's David Cobb save the Green Party or ...
		Cobb's campaign platform -- aside from working to promote core Green values like ecology, feminism, social justice and electoral reform -- was built on his ideas about the wise use of the Greens' power at the polls in this year.
		Cobb's success at the national convention hasn't made much of a dent in his obscurity on the ground locally or statewide, and many -- himself included -- are transferring their efforts away from the Green Party to Nader's independent campaign.
		Cobb believes that Kerry is an "incrementally better" candidate than Bush, and he seems to say that a Green Party campaign that works to unseat the incumbent -- rather than simply to win as many votes for itself as it can -- would be a service to the country.

		Cobb is missing the deadline to get on the ballot in state after state, assuring that he will be on the ballot in many fewer states than the 43 that Nader was on last time.
		Cobb’s VP candidate, Pat LaMarche, when campaigning in her home state of Maine, announced at a press conference that she was NOT committed to voting for her running mate, David Cobb, and would vote for Kerry unless Kerry was 70 points ahead in Maine, in which case she could safely vote for Cobb.
		This means Cobb will have shrunk the Green Party to 1/10 of its size in terms of votes (Nader received 2.7 million in 2000) and to less than 1/20 of its size in terms of money raised.
