"Candidate of a small left party (SWP, SP, etc.)"
Are the Greens considered a small left party? They won 3% of the presidential vote last time. They would probably make a better example. If they're being accused of "losing it" for Gore, they can't be that small.
If New York doesn't go for Kerry, he can forget about it, so I will be voting for either Nader or the Green candidate (which could theoretically be Nader). I probably will vote for the Green candidate.
