49. Here's the plan
They don't really have that big of an influence in the end.

Here's the Math:

Math with Ralph. Here we go:

2.7 percent minus (the number of greens who will never vote anyhing but green) minus (the huge majority of greens who live in states we'll already win handily) minus (the number who live in states we'll already lose) minus (the number of moderates we'd lose in states we need to win if we adopted major elements of their platform) minus (the large numbers of ex-Greens smart enough to see all those green "no outlet" signs and have come home)

Ask yourself, Dems, is this number positive or negative?

Seems to me our stubborn friends of the not-so-loyal opposition need to think about reaching out to us before they align themselves with a party who has a little over a year to exist.

He'll, a lot of Green staffers are looking for jobs. I think probably they've done the math.
