Prohibition Party Expects to be on Most Ballots Since 1980
July 29th, 2008The Prohibition Party expects to be on the ballot for president in these six states this year: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. That is modest, but it will be the most since 1980, when it was on in eight states for president.

What a wonderful item of information.
It gives Tennesseans a chance to quote Will Rogers: We will vote dry as long as we can stagger to the polls.

The Prohibition Party’s presidential nominee will have to run as an independent in Mississippi, since the party is not ballot-qualified here.
I heard the late Earl Dodge on talk radio during his 1988 campaign as the Prohibition presidential nominee. He came across as a very nice and reasonable man.
Will Rogers’s native Oklahoma was the 49th state to legalize liquor– in 1954. In 1966, Mississippi legalized liquor on a local-option basis.

Interesting – why they wouldn’t be targeting Utah, given its relative ease of ballot access and ideology. (Earl Dodge was the ballot in Utah in 1996)

There is also a high profile alcohol issue in Alabama, per Stephon Gordon, sneaky second Third Party Watch owner and tons of cash sell out of the honest Independent, alternative party, anti establishment folk.
See any TPW [aka: Neocom, Lib, Classic Conservative, Bible thumping watch] posts by Cory Quick? They might have [shop? cyber?] lifted whole sale from BAN, Politics1, or Austin Cassidy’s Independent Party Report!
