Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:29:54 +0000 http://www.ballot-access.org/?p=4086#comment-534202 That's not quite right, Richard. The Socialist Party candidate in Michigan (Jean Treacy, 1st District) is on the ballot, but under the Green Party ballot line, as are all SP candidates running in Michigan this year. The Liberty Union Party congressional candidate in Vermont this year is also a member of the SP, but running on the LUP ballot line. Also, Tino Rozzo resigned from the SP earlier this year, so (somewhat ironically) the only congressional candidate appearing on the SP ballot line this year is no longer actually a member of the party. All in all though, the Socialist Party is "officially" supporting four congressional candidates, though none of them are on the ballot as Socialist Party candidates. That’s not quite right, Richard.

But only the candidate in New Jersey (Constantino Rozzo in the 2nd district) is on the ballot. The Party for Socialism and Liberation has two candidates for US House this year, but the candidate in California is the Peace & Freedom nominee, and the candidate in Florida is a write-in. In 2004, the Libertarian Party had 144 nominees for US House on the ballot; the Greens had 47; the Constitution Party had 44.

It has failed miserably in its "top down" efforts at party building, and the LP is still just a fringe operation. If, as so many of us had urged, it had put that effort and emphasis on building locally, perhaps by now it would be a serious and major party.
