Does he? Is he really interested in building a Green Party. At the A16 demo in Washington, he mentioned neither the party nor his candidacy. In '96, he spurned much of the party's platform. Will this really develop the GP as an organization, or is it just another personality vehicle, a la Jesse Jackson?
