I have been registered as a socialist since 2003, and while I was personally friends, internet buddies, with David McReynolds, I found him to have very little appeal except among us. Brian Moore seems to be able to transcend this.

I the first round, It was something like Moore 19, Chester 18, Alexander 7, Harrison 1.

Second round it was Moore 21, Chester 17, Alexander 8 (mine was the 8th).

In the third round, it was something like Moore 25, Chester 20, Andrea Pason 1, Jon Stewart 1.

Those numbers come to us from Dave McReynolds, who was paying more attention than I was, and from my own memory, for paying attention to the votes I cast personally.

For Norma Harrison. I nominated you for President from the floor of the convention, and voted for you in the first round. I would have voted for you in the second round too, but my one vote was not enough to advance your candidacy to the second round of voting.

@Adam,

In an email I received this morning from David McReynolds, he wrote, “In the first round of voting Chester got l8 votes, Moore 19, and Alexander 7. Two minor candidates were eliminated, and Dwight Welch had withdrawn. This left the choice between these three men to see who would get a majority. In the second round Chester got 18, Moore picked up two and got 21, and Alexander picked up one to get 8.”

This is an FYI that the Peace & Freedom Party will not hold their nominations, “presidential preference primary” until the first Tuesday in February. Then in August 2008 their new State Central Committee will make the final cut and announce who those persons will be on the ticket. Some of the names on the short list are Gloria LaRiva, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, John Crockford.

I have no doubt the Peace & Freedom Party will backup the SP-USA ticket in a spirit of unity once the meeting minutes are given and if those minutes reflect towards a united front in the political.

The SP has nowhere to go but up. In 2004 they launched a recall campaign against their own presidential candidate!
