Angel Torres of the Arizona GP sent me an interesting article:
"Dems see red as Republicans run as Greens"
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/10/11/20081011greenparty1011.html

On the evidence of the Democrats' failure to oppose the Bush-Cheney
agenda and their retreat to the right on issue after issue, we
could just as easily accuse the Democratic Party of harboring
Republicans disguised as Democratic candidates.

Situations like the one described in the article are the perfect
opportunity to remind Dems that instant runoff voting is a good way
to eliminate the so-called spoiler threat and GOP tactics like the
one described in the article. Running a Republican as a Green
candidate in order to pull votes away from a Democrat would be
pointless in an IRV election.

Scott
