5. About as good as Bush getting an endorsement..

wOOt!

6. none

The way the vote was set up was that "no candidate" was an option during our nomination process. If "no candidate" had won the nomination process then we would have gone to an endorsement vote. Since Cobb won the nomination, no endorsement vote was taken.

7. A victory for Progressives everywhere!

:toast: to the honorable Mr. Cobb and to the Green Party for refusing to be used by Ralph Nader. :toast:

8. Would it have killed the Greens to endorse Kerry?

Or do you really want Bush to win too?

A vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. Guess what. A vote for Cobb is too. Just as much.

9. David Cobb supports a safe states strategy.

It's a win/win the way I see it.

10. I like Cobb

Because of the Electoral College you can safely vote for a 3rd party without helping * if your state isn't a swing state. That is Cobb's stratagy, as well as trying the pull the dems back to the left by getting liberal votes in local elections (A race in California, I can't rember which, was between a Dem and a Green).

11. Green EV strategy

Does that mean Cobb and the Greens will stay off the ballot in the purple states?

If they did that, I would respect them enough to vote for them here in MD, which is solid blue.

12. I'm in Mississippi, a totally safe Bush state, and-for the first time

in my life, I'd consider voting Green (not saying I will, but I'm REALLY impressed). Good move, Greens, in nominating Cobb.

13. If California stays safe...

I vote for Cobb!

14. Kerry's getting my vote no matter what

but I must say I like Cobb a lot more than Nader. Good move Greens.
