MA: Why Has "Green Consciousness" Not Affected Voting Behavior

From an interesting opinion piece in the Cape Cod Times by Sean Gonsalves:

the blossoming of "green consciousness" has not translated into green political parties. Why not?  Certainly, one reason is that the mainstream media refuses to take the GP at least as seriously as it does the TP (tea party), which isn't even an official party. But there's a deeper reason the GP has not cashed in on the "green revolution" and it can be seen in a debate between what I'll call the Light-Greens (LGs) and the Dark Greens (DGs).
