It is said that "[a]t least 174 Greens in 24 states hold elected office as of May 2003" in the United States (Cf. <http://www.feinstein.org/greenparty/electeds.html>) -- mainly at the level of city councils and school boards, it seems. You can access the Green election results from 1985 till 2002 at <http://greens.org/elections/>. At this rate of bottom-up progress, we may speculate that the party will not be in a position to become a serious contender for presidency until well into the next century -- if we believe in a gradualist theory of incremental changes.
However, political parties, like natural organisms, may evolve in a fashion described by a theory of punctuated equilibrium. -- Yoshie
