Greens Considering Backing Democrat in 2004
From AOL Time Warner subsidiary CNN:
The Green Party's candidate for president in 1996 and 2000 confirms that some in the party are considering not running a presidential candidate in 2004."That's still a minority position, but they are discussing it around the country," Ralph Nader told CNN on Saturday.
Recent news reports have said the party has considered supporting a Democratic candidate for president in the hopes of ousting President Bush from the White House, but the idea remains a matter of discussion, Nader said.
"I think the future of the Green Party has to be built on local and state candidates," Nader said, adding, "although presidential candidates can give a small third party more visibility."
Nader, who never registered as a Green Party member despite running on the party's ticket, says he hasn't decided if he wants to run for president again.
