Green Party Badnariks Nader

The Green Party rebuffed Ralph Nader at its convention this past weekend. Its presidential endorsement instead went to David Cobb, a Texas attorney who plans to ease up on the campaigning in states where he might hurt Kerry.

For those of you keeping track at home, that means Ralph Nader has now been rejected by the party that nominated him four years ago—and embraced by the party that nominated Pat Buchanan. Oh, and his running mate once ran for president on the Socialist Workers ticket. I'm not sure how all this fits into the whole Red/Blue thing.
