[GNC] Camejo

[Aram Falsafi]

Well, I still plan to vote for Camejo in round 1. After that, we will see, based
on several factors, including what Camejo does/says, and whether an
"endorsement" means that we can put them on the ballot in MA to help retain
ballot status. Which I continue to believe should be our primary goal going into
the November **PRESIDENTIAL** race (as opposed to the state and local races
where true party-building happens, and where state party resources should be
concentrated). Last night I called the Nader campaign to ask about this, and was
told to email them the question and they will forward it to Nader, which I did.
I will let you know if I get an answer before Saturday.

At least this shows a stronger committment from Nader to the Green
agenda/movement. My fear had been that he would pick some centrist or populist.
On the other hand it will make it harder for us to attract votes with a separate
candidate, given Camejo's high profile and popularity within the Green Party.

It will be nothing if not interesting ...
