Cobb Wins Green Party Nomination

by Chris Bowers, Sat Jun 26, 2004 at 11:24:55 AM EDT

Cobb wins. It is official. The Nader threat to Kerry is over, as Nader will be on the ballot in less than 15 states now. The Green party itself will be weakened, but a "no nominee" or Nader endorsement would have destroyed it. More on this later.

First round voting, from Green in Brooklyn

David Cobb        308.0
Peter Camejo      118.5
Ralph Nader       117.5
No Nominee         74.5
Lorna Salzman      40.0
None of the Above  35.5
Kent Mesplay       23.5
Jo Anne Beemon     14.0
Carol Miller        9.5
Dennis Kucinich     8.0
uncommitted         6.5
Paul Glover         5.5
Dr Johnathan Farley 3.0
Sheila Bilyeu       2.0
Eugene Debs         1.0
Total             767.0
Needed to win     384.0
The second round of voting, from New Spark Media:
Cobb         408
No Nominee   308
Kent Mesplay  43
There apparently were a few abstnetions, but not enough to deny Cobb a true majority.

Re: Is it on C-span?
Unfortunately no. They will have the victory press conference and rally on C-SPAN, but not the floor vote.

Re: irony
Truly--You must abstain from voting in order to vote as an abstention.
