So do the Greens endorse Nader for the chance of Federal Matching Fun
Is that the reason they nominate a Non-Greener like Nader? Do they think by nominating a celeb like Ralph that it will help them achieve that goal?

Is it just the money?

1. Purely monetary
Greens have no ideals or asperations.

/sarcasm
(Sorry if I sound jaded, but I've been hounded by the 'you're either with us or against us' kerry people for the last two days - not that I haven't enjoyed the debate.)

5. Well, he didn't get it in 2000, what makes them think he will now?
If Nader was the answer to matching funds than why didn't he get 5% in 2000?

7. "We destroyed the environment, but we got our matching funds!"

Maybe that's what they'll say if they actually do get 5% this time and get Bush* elected.

8. DUH!
Please wait until they do so. Am I behind the curve here. Has the Green party endorsed Nader? or the other guy? Links would be welcome.
