The Green Party Convention will be held this week here in Milwaukee. It starts Wednesday with the presidential nomination later on in the week.

Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who ran as a Green in 1996 and 2000, isn't seeking the party's nomination this time around. Instead, he's running as an independent with the endorsement of the Reform Party. How schizo has the brain child of Ross Perot become? The Reform Party is the party that nominated Pat Buchanan in 2000, and now they're going with Nader. It begs the question if they have any principles whatsoever.

In any case, Nader has announced his running mate will be Green Party activist Peter Camejo. It's an obvious olive branch to the Greens to formally endorse his candidacy at the convention. However, it remains to be seen whether the remaining delegates will throw their support behind Nader this week or not.
