		<description>One thing we all can agree on is we need our candidate in the debates(forums). Since the duopoly and msm won&#039;t let it happen, I sincerely hope each Party (LP, GP, CP, &amp; Nader, and any other Indie or official Party that reaches ballot access in the majic number of states equaling 270 or above E.C. votes) will consider working together to hold a series of debates this summer and autumn. The debates (forums) could be hosted on alternative and collegiate television stations. 

Some possible stations include LINK, FSTV, RFD-TV, UWTV (U.WA), UCTV (U.CA), NAUTV (N.AZ U.), BYUTV (B.Y.U.), and BET, etc. If Democracy Now and Genesis Network, etc would join in coverage with their extended networks which include hundreds of radio stations, and naturally they would be live on the web also, several million people could hear and see these debates (forums). All supporters could help the audience sizes by promoting them with our local media.

These debates could and should invite B.O. and McSame. If they decline, who CARES? More ammo (and time) for our guys and girl ! If they do decline, it would have to hurt them somewhat in the eyes of many. Again all supporters could increase audience sizes by promoting each debate in their local media markets. 

The more debates (forums) the better. Reaching hundreds of thousands more with each new forum and giving your Party million$ in exposure. There could even be a second round on some stations with the V.P. candidates. Believe me! We must be seen on television to ever be considered viable in the masses minds. If these are successful, some or one of our candidate(s) could gain access to the big (five networks) debates (forums) in the autumn against &quot;empty suit&quot; B.O. and &quot;InSane&quot; McSame. 

STTA-something to think about...</description>

		<description>Pardon, but do people inside the Green Party really care about the campaign? Have they found greater Unity this year?

Hopefully the LP does a better job of inspiring party members to work together.</description>

		<description>Nader is NOT seeking the nomination or endorsement of the Green Party. Whatever the party leadership&#039;s propoganda, he&#039;s letting them do their thing while he does his.

Nader is &quot;not on the ballot in most states&quot; because he&#039;s still petitioning in most states. And already he&#039;s shored up most support, more media and more donations that McKinney has.

And despite being on the Green Party ballot as a draft candidate in two states, Ralph Nader still surpasses McKinney in the popular vote total in the primaries by over 10,000 votes. And that was before he was even a candidate.

McKinney, on the other hand, lost to &quot;Uncommitted&quot; in AR 55% to 20%. And was clobbered by Nader 61% to 20% in CA. 

While Nader has won a number of pledged delegates to the nomination, most aren&#039;t likely to go to the convention in Chicago.

Most of the &quot;primaries&quot; that McKinney has won involve fewer than 100 voters in state delegations with disproportionate voting strength.

If McKinney wins on the first ballot, it&#039;s because she&#039;s largely running unopposed for the nomination.

If you&#039;re curious why Nader isn&#039;t seeking the Green nomination, feel free to check out www.draftnader.org for the facts.

Outside of the Green Party, people really don&#039;t seem to care about the McKinney campaign.</description>

		<description>The delegates are a mix of pledged and not, depending on the state, but NY should put Cynthia way ahead next week with the significant majority of its 42 delegates.

Nader is not on the ballot in most states, and is not seeking the nomination, only the endorsement of the Green Party, which would involve a majority delegate vote for NOTA, and then a majority vote to endorse Ralph.  Not gonna happen.  McKinney will probably win on the first ballot.</description>

		<description>Are those delegates pledged though?  If Nader or someone else showed up and declared at the convention... could there still be a fight?</description>

		<description>And of course Obama  could pick Sam Nunn for VP.  Unlikely, but possible.</description>
