The retired computer science professor needed 4000 signatures from Brooklyn voters to qualify. The NYC Libertarians presented a consolidated multi-candidate petition with [...]

So, there’s some sort of national conference of third parties going on next month. I don’t completely understand what it is, or what will actually happen there… but the organization hosting it seems to mean well. It’s certainly a good idea to get people together, but the execution bothers me a little bit.

My [...]

Reliable sources tell Politics1 that former Ambassador and two-time GOP Presidential candidate Alan Keyes will become the latest Republican to cross party lines to endorse Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist (AIP-CA) in the CD-48 special election set for Tuesday. Keyes is expected to make the endorsement in California on Friday afternoon at an event [...]

Does anyone know of a third party out there that supports the war?

Just curious…

The Constitution Party is probably not thrilled with the confirmation of John Roberts today. On September 16th, the party issued a resolution urging Congress to block the nomination because Roberts is not pro-life enough…

Any images… campaign materials, election day photos, publicity stunts… whatever ya got.

In addition to the request for video, any audio you might have would be great…

– Radio commercials for campaigns. – Speeches by party officials or candidates… – Any recordings of third party gatherings… – Or even an audio recording of you telling a relevant story…

Send it all to afcassidy@yahoo.com.

Same rules and usage options apply [...]

Ok, here’s the deal… I’m considering doing a video clips section on the website.

I really have decided exactly what it will be, how it will work, or if I’ll even bother getting into it at all… but I have a few ideas floating around in my head.

What I would like from you guys is some [...]

As reported by Ballot Access News:

California is holding a special congressional election on Oct. 4. Campaign reports filed September 22 with the Federal Election Commission show that Constitution (American Independent) Party candidate Jim Gilchrist has raised more money than any Democrat running in the race. Gilchrist raised $111,731, whereas the leading Democrat, Steve Young, had [...]

The FEC correctly dismissed charges that right-leaning groups aided the independent campaign of Ralph Nader during last year’s election. The commission said it found no evidence that any laws were broken.

The full story from the Associated Press:

The Federal Election Commission dismissed complaints that Republican and conservative groups improperly worked with Ralph Nader to [...]

Well, this is kind of insane. Now we have a major party candidate trying to debate Pawlowski, and someone is trying to block that! The debate over the New Jersey gubernatorial debates continues to rage…

From NY Newsday:

The Republican running for governor was looking to score points by announcing he would be in two [...]

So, it’s been something of a slower week in third party politics… and most of the media’s attention is on hurricanes and the Supreme Court. However, we do have a new Fall TV season getting into full swing.

Anyone seen anything good? Perhaps the new Martha Stewart version of “The Apprentice” or the much-hyped [...]

Republican Congressional candidate John Campbell apparently thinks Jim Gilchrist is drawing off enough support to be a concern in the fast-approaching California special election…

Russ Potts hasn’t completely cornered the market on entertaining tv spots this year. Check out Michael Latigona’s television ad which is currently airing on a few cable stations in parts of New Jersey…

(I don’t think I’ve ever seen a candidate shower and shave in his own TV commercial before.)

I’ve locked both of the recent threads about Jeff Pawlowski as there seem to be some people on this site who cannot control themselves. I absolutely do not want to make people register in order to leave comments, so please do not post under any name but your own.

When you post… I can see [...]

...to largely meaningless questions.

The candidates for Governor of Virginia were asked some “colorful” questions about their personal lives and other stuff by Richmond.com, here are a few sample answers:

Democratic Lt. Governor Tim Kaine:

What was your best day?

Answer: June 30, 1998. My wife was sworn in as a judge and I became the mayor of [...]
