[Iowa-dx] Re: Green Party Presidential race

[tpfeiff@earthlink.net]

Glad to see some mail regarding Green candidates, instead of which Democrat
will emerge the "winner" of the caucuses, and who will accept the VP  and 
Secretary of State positions. Why not ask Elaine Brown and Cynthia McKinney
to clarify what seems to be uncertainty in this discussion? 
Better yet, why are we not discussing the health status of the Iowa Green
Party and proposing measures to insure its viability beyond 2008?

doesn't now.   It appears that Elaine Brown's campaign came up with this
allegation based on a vote McKinney did cast some years ago which supported
increasing numbers of community-based officers.
