How bad a sign is it for the SPUSA’s grassroots efforts when their candidate finishes 3rd amongst openly Socialist candidates (LaRiva, Calero).. and finishes behind the Socialist Equality write-in in New York.

The SEP should have had their convention much earlier so they would have done some petition drives and got on the ballot in a couple of states.

Those numbers seem low Baldwin only got about 2x the total in CT in NY? 614 vs 302.

Isn’t it sad that Chuck got more write-in votes then Alan, and even got more votes then him in Colorado and Florida too?

Actually its not that sad at all. I blame keyes’ poor performance on the media bias because back in 2000 he got very good media coverage. But if everyone knew that he was running, he would have made a better performance.
