    Its a shame the greens did not run a candidate.

    Cool. At least the third party candidate was allowed on the debate. (Too bad the Libertarians didn’t try to run a candidate, though.) Will this be posted on YouTube as well?

    The poor Greens in New York. They regained ballot status last year and promptly lost 5,000, about 20%, of their party registrants, according to Board of Elections numbers.
