I protest that the LCV would endorse Bayh with Ralph Nader in the race...!

what do you mean?

I'd say it's quite illogical that they would back a moderate Democrat when they backed Kucinich in 2004 ITL...

My decision to include LCV is his 77% voting record from LCV.

77% is not that much, to be fair... Plus, Bayh did never really appear as a politician devoted to that issue, and did not really stand out, in both directions...
On the other hand, Ralph Nader is the candidate devoted to tackling global warming, running for the party that is devoted to that issue...

Let just the LCV endorse the two?

I'm okay with them endorsing Bayh for the Democratic primary, while they endorse Nader for the general election. Okay with that?

Agree.
