"The Green Party of the United States holds ballot lines in 21 states and D.C., affiliates in 43 states, over 300,000 registered members, and over 200 officials serving in elected office. The Green Party Presidential Nomination Convention will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 23-28th" (at <http://www.gp.org/press/pr_12_23_03.html>). The Green Party's ballot lines will go to Ralph Nader at the Green Party convention, because Peter Camejo is now taking the lead in the Green nomination process (see <http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20040315/005732.html>) and Camejo (probably along with several other candidates currently running in the Green primaries) is a "placeholder" for Nader.

I very much doubt that "self-styled" leftists, sectarian or otherwise, constitute as much as 7 percent of the total voting-age population. I detect a major disconnect between the Anybody But Bush pundits and ordinary American voters.
