 Critical Montages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Presidential candidate Ralph Nader on Monday tapped longtime Green Party activist Peter Camejo to be his running mate, a move certain to boost the independent's chances of winning the Green Party's endorsement this week and its access to ballot lines in nearly two dozen states.
Nader's choice of Camejo as his vice presidential candidate makes it much easier for the left wing of the Green Party -- of which Camejo is the most prominent member -- to get the party to endorse the Nader campaign at its national convention.
Camejo will move the Nader campaign's politics sharply to the left, too, especially on issues such as immigration on which Nader's own rhetoric at times has been found wanting by left-wing activists.

The crowd and cameras surged forward as if to give Camejo one final push into the political arena but the wave crashed at last against a wall of LA Times staff and police who officially uninvited him and commanded the crowd to retreat.
