The Green Party national covention is going on right now in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  At some point over the weekend, a vote will be held to determine whether or not the Green Party will endorse vanity candidate Ralph Nader for the presidency.

It has already been discussed fairly thoroughly here at dailykos how Nader's candidacy can only serve to enable a second term for George W. Bush.  And we all know too well what to expect from a second Bush term: the continued irreversible sellout of the environment, the rollback of women's reproductive rights, the rollback of equality regulations, job protections, andsoforth.  We know that a second Bush term will bring drastically accelerated media deregulation and consolidation.  We know that corporate power will increase while corporate accountability decreases.  We know that Justices Rehnquist, O'Connor, Ginsburg, and Stevens will not still be serving by January, 2009, and that Bush will name extreme right-wingers as their replacements.  Furthermore, we know that since Bush will no longer be impeded by the need to seek an additional term, that his pursuit of an extreme right-wing agenda will rapidly accelerate in terms of both speed and ruthlessness.

We know all this, and the Green Party knows this too.  

This is what Newsweek is reporting on the Washington Post's website.  The story, which really doesn't say much else, states that Kerry remains "uncomfortable" with Edwards.

I don't know how much stock to place in this article, but I think both Gephardt and Vilsack are terrible choices.  I much prefer Edwards.  Actually, I think I'd support Evan Bayh, Bob Graham, or Jay Rockefeller over either of those clowns.

Well, fuck, what do you think of this?
