Poor Nader, The Greens reject him!
This blocks him out of many states, if I were him I would stop running already...maybe "run" a spot in the Kerry administration.

The Green Party nominated Texas attorney David Cobb as its candidate for president, rejecting Ralph Nader's efforts to secure the party's formal endorsement and likely access to the ballot in key states like Wisconsin and California.
Nader, the party's candidate in 1996 and 2000, had told Green officials months ago he would not accept the party's nomination for president, preferring to build a coalition of third-party groups and independents rather than running under one banner.
Still, he openly courted their formal endorsement as a means to get on the ballot in the 22 states and Washington, D.C., where the party has a ballot line.
But 408 delegates voted for Cobb on the second ballot Saturday to give him the nomination.
This blocks him out of many states, if I were him I would stop running already...maybe "run" a spot in the Kerry administration.
