win it, so then whats the point? We have a such a small percentage of green voters to make a win, why should we split that? <o:p></o:p></p>

Don't they have until March 9 to raise funds for the ballot? If<br>
that's the case, we should know by the time the SGA votes who is in<br>
and who is out. I agree that we should not make an endorsement before<br>
then, because we haven't had any process for informing Greens about<br>
all the Green candidates running.<br>
