Green Party Candidate: Cynthia McKinney

The Green Party is probably most famous as the party Ralph Nader affiliated himself with in his 1996 & 2000 bids for President. Nevertheless, the Green Party has a significant history. It is, more or less, the official US chapter of the European Greens movement. Nader's 3rd place finish in 2000 was probably their highest point in terms of the Presidential race.

This season, the party has nominated Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, and her VP partner is "Hip-Hop Activist and Journalist" (from the GP's own press release) Rosa Clemente.

Those seeking further information on the GP can visit the site linked above, and can find the party platform at this link.
