I stand corrected on my asertion. Kudos on the thoroughness of your
research. I was sloppy and didn't look back that far.

I too think the Green vote will be lower in 2004. Everyone is
gunning for Bush :) and won't risk vote splitting.

Although what would happen if Dean didn't get the nomination? Would
his supporters draft him into a separate campaign?
