http://www.cmonitor.com/stories/news/local2003/102803_kucin_2003.shtmlIn a coffee shop on Main Street yesterday, the New Hampshire Green Party threw its support behind presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich. And if Kucinich fails in his attempt for the Democratic nomination, Green Party spokesman Guy Chichester said the party may try to recruit the Ohio congressman to run on its ticket in the general election.
Yesterday's endorsement was made in the couch section of the Coffee Mill. Green Party organizers and Kucinich campaigners would have preferred the State House across the street as a setting, but said they were denied access.
The endorsement marks the first time in the Green Party's 13-year history in the state that it has endorsed a member of another political party in the presidential primary.
"We know the primary is controlled by money," Chichester said as a woman ordered a small coffee a few feet away. "Dennis deserves the support of all who care about peace, social justice and environmental sanity."
