A major problem for Davis is the growing support for Green Party candidate Peter Camejo, who gets almost 5% of the vote, mirroring results in other polls. The 5% threshold is usually considered for inclusion in statewide debates. All of the minor candidates combined receive an unusually high 9% of the vote. The Camejo attack on Davis for forsaking principles in favor of campaign contributions seems to be taking hold, as disaffected liberals are finding an alternative to Davis.
Anyone out there who still thinks that Davis losing the Green vote is not important needs to quit inhaling something, take a clear deep breath and grab hold of reality.
Greenies are sure consistent, if nothing else. 5% is the percentage Ralphie (Green) Nader got in prez
2000 contest. Ralphie polled 7% prior to the election, though, and was expected to do better. So
Camejo's 5% might collapse to less. But in a close race, even lesser numbers could devastate grayboy.
Betcha grayboy (and Goreon) wish Greenies weren't in the race.
