[Sosfbay-discuss] 10 months vs ten years

[Andrea Dorey]

I read that, too.  Why else would he ask a highly respected Green  
Party member to run as his Vice President?  (A young male this time!)
I also heard Cynthia Mc Kinney give credit to Nader for her decision  
to run for the top nomination in the Green Party.  I'm proud of her  
and I'm proud of him.
They are both out there, heads above the crowd, creating motion in  
the ranks.  Just what we need in this old arthritic democracy of  
ours: a little motion!
We live in interesting times.  I hope we are up to it.
