Did you see the debate? I'd like to know, from people who watched, whether the Indendent and Green candidates were 'good' enough to siphon votes from Mondale.

The green guy was a real piece of work. He wore dark glasses the whole time, suggesting that he was blind (which is OK) or a loonie-tune, which is how he acted. "I don't keep any guns in my lodge." "If people want to hunt they should use a bow and arrow." Of course, this is Minnesota, so he's probably appealing to some. <sigh> The Indie seemed rational, other than bad politics.

The best part was when he said he was against nuclear energy, but then went on to say we should be looking hard at anti-matter as an alternative fuel source.

I read the debate comments (thanks for the link 'Hellinahandcart'), and the greenie is definitely out as a vote drainer, unless he gets the sympathy vote! How about the other guy? No good at all for stealing those Mondale votes? (The Greenie was so bizarre, perhaps the other leftist will suffice.)
