The Green Party convention continues here in town. Today, attendees will debate the nomination of their presidential candidate.

The conventional wisdom is that the real debate is about whether to nominate frontrunner David Cobb or to endorse Ralph Nader's candidacy since he is not running as a Green.

The editorial board at the local daily threw in their two cents today and endorsed Cobb. In the article, the board cites Cobb's plan to run a "safe state" strategy by only campaigning in non-battleground states.

UPDATE: The Greens have nominated attorney David Cobb to be their presidential candidate. It's a setback to Ralph Nader's campaign, a positive development for the Kerry campaign, and a commendable decision by the membership of the Green Party.
