Greens Spurn Nader
The Green Party today declined to nominate Nader as it's Presidential candidate, going with California Lawyer David Cobb instead. Green Party Refuses to Back Nader for President
Nader hadn't actively sought the Green nomination. But, he had stated his willingness to accept either that or an endorsement. By doing neither, the Greens deny Nader automatic ballot access in 22 states and the District of Columbia which they won on the strength of Nader's 2000 results. This forces Nader to wage a state by state battle to get on each state's ballot for November.
