Yes.
“What are the requirements for the party to qualify for a primary?”
Collect 25,000 legitimate signatures in 90 days in 2010 for your slate of statewide candidates, withstand the challenge that one of the major parties will make to your petitions, and get 5% for at least one of the candidates in November. Good luck to the other minor parties the next time around!
