[SfN] Fwd: the Big Ten Nader Fight

[Jim Buell]

After the election, precinct-by-precinct tallies for Nader/LaDuke should be 
available from the county clerk's office.

This reminds me of an idea Damien, John Paul and others have voiced - 
select a single campus-area precinct to concentrate on, go door to door, 
phone, etc to get out the vote, and use it after the election to 
demonstrate the power of the Greens to deliver the vote for worthwhile 
candidates. Later in the week (after O17) let's give some time to 
strategize what precinct(s) to concentrate on and how best to get the vote 
out there.
