Dave Weigel has the scoop on the Virginia Independent Greens'
efforts to qualify a ticket of Michael Bloomberg for president and
Ron Paul for vice president on Virginia's state ballot.
Carey Campbell is right that Paul probably could have won the
Libertarian and Constitution Party presidential nominations --
there was a move to put Paul's name in nomination at the CP
convention, but it was defeated on the grounds that Paul would not
accept -- but I'm somewhat surprised to hear he had a chance at
winning the Green Party's nod as well. Even taking into account the
war, I didn't know there were that many hard-lefties willing to put
up with a pro-life devotee of Austrian economics.
