The Green party has no official candidate yet.
As for the "a vote for a 3rd party is a vote for Bush" idea...the whole point of voting for a 3rd party candidate isnt to get elected at first. Right now voting for a 3rd party is to try and help the party get 5% of the vote thus giving them federal funding in the next election. This will solidify that party as a major political party. Voting for a 3rd party is a vote to try and eliminate the two party system that we've had to deal with for so long. But anyways, that's what i have to say...
