Third Party Watch

Austin has also asked me to contribute to TPW and I am happy to oblige. I joined the Constitution Party in 2000 after decades of laboring in the Republican Party vineyards. I voted for Howard Phillips for president in 2000 and Michael Peroutka in 2004. My state party disaffiliated from the Constitution [...]

I know I said I was only looking for one person per political affiliation, but I changed my mind.

Stuart Richards is going to be joining TPW as a contributing writer along with Trevor Southerland. Stuart’s a great guy and many of you probably know him from his work on other [...]

I’d like to extend a very big welcome to Trevor Southerland. He will be joining TPW as a contributing writer in the next couple of days.

There are two other people I’m currently talking with about joining, and I’ll let you guys know as soon as they’re confirmed.

What we really still need is someone from [...]

I was quoted briefly in the Sunday edition of the Northwest Herald, the article is available online here.

Although obviously Richard Winger is the actual scholarly expert on all of the ballot access and historical matters, it’s always cool when this blog get some “real media” attention. And a hearty welcome to any new readers [...]

Hey everyone…

I’m going to be involved in volunteering for a local city council campaign this Spring. I may also be helping to run the campaign of a friend who is pondering a big for a seat on the soil and water board. Plus I’ll be getting sworn into my seat on the local [...]

Does anyone know whatever happened to Hammer of Truth?

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. We’ll be back with new updates sometime later in the weekend.

I’ve been a little swamped lately with campaign stuff and other unrelated activities, but I’m going to try and be more active in keeping this site updated as we approach November.

I figured I’d start off today with a little update on my own campaign. This doesn’t have anything to do with third party politics [...]

Hello, folks. As you quite likely noticed, Austin recently invited me to become a legit contributor to TPW and I happily accepted. Long a fan of Austin’s site, I was pretty flattered to receive the invite. Many of you probably recall reading through my thorough (verbose) coverage of the 2006 LP National [...]

Georgia Libertarian, founder of The American Politic, and all-around good guy Joe Magyer is going to become a Contributing Writer for Third Party Watch. You may well remember Joe from his adventures at the LP National Convention in Portland earlier this year. If not, check out his reports by clicking here.

So [...]

Not a third party campaign… but just a quick little update for anyone who might be interested. Last week I officially qualified for a place on the ballot as a candidate for Duval County Soil and Water Conservation Board.

I’ll be facing off against a former board member (he was defeated in 2004) come November, [...]

We finally crossed the 100,000th unique visitor mark today!

Sorry for the lack of updates for the last few days, I took a long weekend and went down to Kennedy Space Center for a few days.

Fun trip, but it’s back to work now… so things will be returning to normal starting tomorrow.

I’ll say it one last time for anyone who missed it the first 10 times. I am a registered Republican voter. I registered to vote in 1999 and went with the Republican designation so I could vote in the 2000 Presidential primary.

I voted for McCain. In November, I voted for Harry [...]

This week marks the one year anniversary of Third Party Watch’s launch. We are now also exactly five months away from this Fall’s midterm elections.

So I’m happy to report that we’re going to be having quite a few new and interesting things going on with the blog in the next five days. Several [...]

I’m looking for some people who might be attending either the July LP national convention in Oregon or the America First Party convention in Ohio this weekend… or any state party conventions of any kind in the next few months.

Basically I’d like to find a few good folks willing to submit a report of their [...]

Things have been a little quiet this week as I’ve been busy with some summer classes and working on a new project. Basically it’s a general discussion community site for people from all around the world.

Feedback is always appreciated and if you’d like to signup and become one of the first new members [...]

Do you have a blog or website that deals with third party-related issues? If so, we would love to trade links with you!

Just drop me a line at afcassidy@yahoo.com with your site name and where your link to TPW appears and I’ll add you to the “Useful Sites” list on the right side [...]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post quickly to explain why I haven’t been keeping the site updated as frequently as I’ve wanted to in the past couple of days.

Basically, it’s final exam week and I’m a little swamped right now… but rest assured that TPW will continue on strong in the weeks and months [...]

I’m considering doing a new feature on the site that will give readers a chance to share some of their own experiences. Basically it would be an occassional item (maybe weekly?) that told the story of how a person came to belong to a third party and in what ways they’ve been active and [...]

I’ve had a few people ask me about doing a feed for this site that could be used with some of the syndication programs out there and MyGoogle, MyYahoo!, etc.

So… I’ve added Third Party Watch to Feedburner and if you look on the right column towards the bottom you’ll find links for all of that [...]
