Mr. Green

I voted for Ralph Nader for President, twice. I'd probably do the same again—as a protest vote—but I must admit, Ralph has been an unmitigated disaster, not least because he failed to build alternative institutions after his campaigns. At any rate, I was quite curious to know whether in our latest election leading Greens had a pulse. Peter Miguel Camejo, Ralph's stalwart vice-presidential running mate in 2004, was running for California Governor on the Green Party ticket for the third time in four years: he got 2.2% or slightly over 175,000 votes. So, here's an audible snapshot of our current third party. It was gracious of Peter to take the time, I very much appreciate it, and wish him all the best. Total runtime of about fifty two minutes. Enjoy!
