I had doubts as to how he would "perform" at EU level, especially after his ill-advised presidential run in 2007. But by all accounts he's been a hard worker and very effective networker, finding common ground with MEPs from other groups.

I find it interesting that there is only the one male nominee. Probably this means that Bové is seen as a natural and consensual choice.
What are other potential candidates? Daniel Cohn-Bendit? A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman

Thank you Jose Bove, Monica Frassoni, Rebecca Harms, Ska Keller, Ulrike Lunacek and Jolanda Verburg.
Ulrike Lunacek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She is head of delegation of the Austrian Greens in the European Parliament, European spokesperson of the Austrian Greens, vice-president and foreign affairs spokesperson of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament, Kosovo-Rapporteur and co-president of the Intergroup on LGBT Rights. Lunacek was the frontrunner of the Austrian Green Party for the European elections on 7 June 2009.
Jolanda Verburg is not found on english wikipedia, or as far as I can tell on the dutch. Judging by Google-hits she is dutch (or flemish).
But no men, which I think this strenghtens the impression that the real run is for who will join Bové as the two leading candidates. Sweden's finest (and perhaps only) collaborative, leftist e-newspaper Synapze.se
