 portland imc - 2004.02.25 - The Greens and the Dems and Nader
Naturally the Greens joined the din denouncing Ralph, not mentioning that their pot-addled, dithering "leadership" won't even convene until June, way too late in the process to try to put forward a presidential candidate.

First off, none of the parties will choose their nominee in convention before June, not the Greens, not the Dems, not the Reps. Nader was free to pursue the Green nomination and he chose not to, because he was afrain he wouldn't get it.
