	If not now, when?  If the Dem's win, they're surely use the
specter of Bush to warn progressives against voting for us again next
time.  If people had abandoned ship after the 2000 brouhaha, I would
be more amenable to your view, but our numbers have GROWN.

	Greens spew vitriol at anyone who tells them to just hold
thier nose and vote `strategically', but then they turn around start
talking about running candidates strategically -- not to maximize our
success, but to minimize our impact.  That's just not an ethos to
which I can subscribe.
