"Media Beat": A Green Party Campaign (tags)
Two years from now, the Green Party will make a big decision: Should it run a candidate for president in 2004? For many Green the choice is a no-brainer. But others are not so sure. If the Green Party enters the next presidential race, it will largely appear to a lot of prospective constituencies to be a political party locked into a counterproductive tactic. If the Green Party seems contemptuous of such concerns, many progressives are likely to perceive it as a party too impractical to merit support. That would be a shame.
