But if Nader gets 5% of the national vote, the Green Party gets a bunch of public funding. That could mean serious contenders in local and some state elections.

Ah, one of you is discussing the sky as being blue, and the other the greenness of the grass. Kyla is, I believe, speaking of the upcoming Democratic primary; Mangeorge, of the general election.

I sympathize with Mangeorge; as Kermit said…
