Following the campaign, October 30
From Karin Caifa:
ENDORSED OR NOT ENDORSED?
Controversy over Kucinich’s weekend endorsement from the New Hampshire Green Party. It’s rankled the national party, who issued a release saying, “The endorsement decision reportedly took place at a meeting in a coffee shop that was attended by six individuals.” Noting that the New Hampshire arm is not recognized by the national group, they continued, “Green Party officials wish to clarify that the half-dozen individuals responsible for the news release in question are not affiliated with the Green Party of the United States.” The Greens will hold their own nominating convention for a presidential candidate in Milwaukee in June 2004. Ralph Nader has said he will make a decision on a bid by the end of this year. [ed. note: obviously this is an endorsement, so the headline is a bit off; the question is who is doing the endorsing]
WALKING FOR KUCINICH
Jonathan Meier, the guy walking cross-country for the campaign, arrives in New York City on Thursday. Kucitizens will be having a sunset “welcome” gathering for him in Central Park at — where else? — the John Lennon Memorial. They’re doing a potluck in his honor at a church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where he and the walkers he’s picked up along the way will be spending the night. On Friday morning, the walkers will head to the U.N. for a “Kucinich for President” rally.
