Footnote to the preceding, I'm available as a consultant

Mother Jones' Daily Mojo for June 29 has this about the Green Party's presidential nominee:

But [David] Cobb still plans to run a "safe-state" strategy, campaigning for himself only in non-swing states, though he will campaign in all states for Green candidates down the ballot.

And this is what I said in that December 7 post about whether Nader should run or not:

However, there is still the related question of whether the Green Party should run someone else for President. I think it should. But I think it should with a particular tactical approach in mind. A presidential run is a good organizing focus, a way for local campaigns to increase energy (and media attention) by connecting them to something larger. However, I think real active campaigning for the top office should be limited to states that are foregone conclusions, states that have pretty much been consigned to the total of one major party hack or the other. In other states, the candidate should make appearances that focus specifically on supporting the local Green slate, even if it becomes necessary to do that overtly: "I'm not here to get your vote. I'm here to get these people your vote."
