competition for K. Ellison in Nov. From: Jordan Kushner Date: May 15 22:01 UTC Short link
Keith Ellison picked up most of the Green Party constituency last time by
running on a platform consistent with the Green Party and directly appealing
for Green Party votes. (The Green Party candidate Jay Pond's vote
percentage went from 6% in 2004 to 2% in 2006 which can only be attributed
Ellison's specific appeal to this constituency). Given that Ellison has now
established his commitment to the national Democratic power structure at the
expense of any sort of serious peace and social justice commitment, (I am
also unaware of anything Ellison has done on the environment) it would seem
to be incumbent on the Green Party to run a candidate to represent its
values.
