It is interesting that this topic has come up just after the December 9 election in San Francisco, where the Dems beat back the Green candidate for mayor with absentee ballots. They made a crucial difference. Gore and Clinton flew in to beat the Green, and then thousands of dollars were spent by Dems securing the absentee ballots. Greens don't have that kind of money.
Since a main objective of the Dems these days is to crush the Greens out of existence, and since they will always have loads of corporate money, while the Greens refuse it, it could well be just one more way to wipe out the Greens. I'll bet if it were sold this way it would pass. Why have illusions? Greens will just have to figure out some way to beat this new tactic. --David Shove roseville REMINDERS: 1.
