In November 2010, voters of six states will find Working Families Party nominees on the ballot, the highest number of states so far for that party.
In Delaware, the Working Families Party is cross-endorsing four Democrats and two Republicans, all of them legislative candidates. In South Carolina, the party has its own nominee (not the nominee of any other party) for U.S. House, 1st district. In Oregon, it still hasn’t nominated but must do so by August 24. In Vermont, it has nominated a slate of six statewide nominees who are just stand-ins. After the Vermont primary on August 24, it will make final nominations; probably most or all will also be Democratic nominees.
In Connecticut and New York, the WFP will have hundreds of its own nominees, most of them inevitably to be Democratic nominees also, with probably a few Republican nominees and a few candidates who are not the nominees of any other party.
The only state in which the Working Families Party was on the ballot in the past, but is no longer, is Massachusetts.
In Connecticut and New York, the WFP will have hundreds of its own nominees, most of them inevitably to be Democratic nominees also, with probably a few Republican nominees and a few candidates who are not the nominees of any other party.
Doesn’t that mean that the are not their own nominees?
