I can’t post to my LJ blog during the day (it’s blocked at my work!), so I continue to urge readers to check the sites below for Green Party ’08 Election News:
Over on Green Change there is a thread on what we have all learned this election cycle. Here is my response:
I learned that it’s still hard in Utah to get out the word, although am pleased that McKinney got nearly 1,000 votes with the minimal amount of volunteers we had.
I also learned that people are still sore about 2,000 and blame it on Nader and I am still finding myself having to educate people on the facts – years later. (Sadly, Nader didn’t fare well this cycle either.)
I also confirmed my love for this party and desire to keep pushing forward in my pursuit to do my part in preserving all life.
Additionally:
I learned about two amazing women in our country, Rosa Clemente and Cynthia McKinney who are working for the people in so many ways. My desire is that they will continue to work in building the movement of creating a nation, a world, where all life is respected and people are created equally with everything they need to exist.
Ross Mirkarimi (CA) easily wins re-election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, District 5. He finished first of three candidates with 15,150 votes or 77.68%. This is with 55 out of 66 precincts reporting.
Congratulations to our new Green State Representative in Arkansas, Richard Carroll!
He received 4,222 votes for 83.14% with 100% of precincts reporting in.

Posted by Brent McMillan to the national GPUS list:
Deb McFarland who is running for U.S. House District 2 in Arkansas is
currently at almost 29%.
It looks like she may be about to beat the record set by Tom Kelly in
Colorado in 2006 for a green running in a Federal Race.
