US Green Party Convention Plenary - Session Part II

Paul -V-'s picture

Todays plenary session is at Sovergn Perfoeming Arts Center (SPAC) in Reading, PA.

Unlike the hotel, this building doesn't have wi-fi. In order to blog I'm tucked in the corner of the ballroom, next to a window, using a weak signal from a neighboring hospital.

Here's a tip for the Green Party: If you want indy media to cover an event - Wi-fi is, like, important, and stuff.

Undecided

This is a great example of how the Greens need to improve - and fast. If this was a mainstream party, you can be damn sure there would be wi-fi and sophisticated media infastructure.

The Greens don't even have a table for the press. I had to commander one from the SPAC staff.

Not that it matters - since I'm the only press here - which is a shame since the debate is rather interesting. The California delegation seems to be upset that David Cobb, the 2004 Green Party candidate for President, pushed for Greens in contested states to vote for the Kerry.

I suppose Cobb didn't want the party to be blamed for a Bush victory again. However, many feel this was a betrayal of party values, and Greens have nothing to be ashamed of.
