I think this is a GREAT idea.Greens Consider Standing Behind Democrats in '04 (washingtonpost.com) I was just thinking yesterday that the Greens could tip the scales in the Democrats' favor, if they would realize that it would make an enormous difference to their agenda to have a Democrat in office, rather than the current admin.

Every time I take an objective political interest survey, I turn up more aligned with Greens than Dems, but nevertheless I live in the real world. A Green will not be elected President in this century, and I am content with casting my vote with the more socially and environmentally responsible party.

I heard a lot of talk in the 2000 election to the tune of "Democrats and Republicans -- there's no difference." Given the events of the past three years, I bet a lot of people are re-thinking those comments. You can't tell me that if Gore were in office right now, EVERYTHING would be JUST the same as it is right now. Bush has done so much to set back environmental law that it astounds me.
