DescriptionBabette Hogan speculates that Cynthia McKinney could drop out of the race for the Green Party nomination for President. Hogan suggests, Ms McKinney might withdraw should she not reach the threshold for matching federal funds in the primary.

“Early last week, the Green Party’s national leadership sent out a donation plea to party members on behalf of all the candidates. Being a party that espouses democratic values and egalitarianism, the party leadership could not ask directly for donations to go to the presumptive candidate, McKinney. However, Richard Winger, of Ballot Access News, believes that the National Green Party leaders should have done just that so that at least one candidate could carry the Green flag with some kind of visibility into the final election period.”

Hogan writes, “...does Jesse Johnson, Kent Mesplay or Kat Swift, claim the responsibility for finishing the campaign or does Ralph Nader ride into the rescue?”
