PREFACE:
I've been a Green Party member nearly my entire adult life. Frankly, there's never been a Democratic candidate for President that I've found appealing. (In fact, it was the rise of Bill Clinton, coupled with Democrats' adoration of him, that actually made register Green in 1992.) Each time there was a Democrat that I actually liked and would consider voting for (who actually shared many of the views I have), he lost to a candidate that I considered inferior in the primaries: Brown instead of Clinton 1992, Bradley instead of Gore in 2000, and Dr. Dean instead of Kerry in 2004. Each time I've ended up either not voting, or voting for Ralph Nader. However, HOPEfully not this time...
