Watched the convention live on the internet Video feed.
Rich gave great speech, and did a fine job leading one discussion group.
This Green Party is doing super work in 2010.
Admire the effort, and the success..
We have seen the high single, low double digit polling many times before. It evaporates by election day.
Rich Whitnet et al will lose.
Unless PLAS is tried.
Thanks for the Green Party story..
