I feel your pain, Nathan - I think you're anything but a dishonest hack, and I don't approve of the attribution - but he rather convincingly refuted several of your major criticisms: the whitness of the Greens and their voters, the liberality of the Dems they've defeated, the effects on surviving Dems, the political profile of New Haven, etc. Soooo. just what's wrong with Greens running for City Council, anyway?
