Under NY state election law, party status is gained ONLY by a candidate for governor getting 50,000 votes on that party's line. The Liberals (and the Right to Life and Green parties) lost theirs in 2002 by gathering only 16,000 for Andrew Cuomo, while the Working Families party qualified. I doubt that the Liberals will be successful in 2006. Carl McCall, the Dem gubernatorial candidate in 2002, made it one of his campaign objectives to extinguish the Liberal ballot line, and in that he succeeded. Furthermore, the Dems are now hostile to their candidates running on the Liberal line, preferring the WF cross-endorsement instead. Unless the Liberals can find a well-financed, serious, independent candidate 2006 will mostly likely see their final demise. Check www.liberalparty.org for their latest doings.

The Village Voice has suggested the latter. I think the WFP did this once before. There are two Greens circulating nominating petitions: Chino and Tony Gronowicz. Neither has been endorsed by the regional group of the State Committee.

In addition, Seth Blum is trying start the Education Party, and writer and performer Andy Horowitz has started the Blog Party. I think the deadline for petition to be submitted is August 17.
