A state court will soon decide who the actual chair of the Connecticut Independent Party is. See this story, which gives the details. The Independent Party of Connecticut is ballot-qualified for some offices, but not others. This is because, in Connecticut, a party is automatically ballot-qualified for all offices in which it received at least 1% of the vote in the last election.
The Independent Party is ballot-qualified for President, because in 2008 it polled 1.10% for its presidential nominee, Ralph Nader. It is also ballot-qualified for Governor-Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Comptroller, and Treasurer, although those offices are all up in 2014, not 2012. It only got .98% for U.S. Senate in 2010 so it is not ballot-qualified for that office.
Nobama 2012: “Support Ron Paul and Rand Paul”
Me: Rand isn’t even supporting Ron anymore. He just endorsed Romney.
Nobama 2012: “We must get behind Romney to stop Obama and elect Rand Paul in 2016”
Me: If Romney wins this year, he will almost certainly be guaranteed the party’s nomination for re-election in 2016.
Nobama 2012: “The Libertarian Party is just a tool of the Demoncrats to re-elect Obama”
Me: Gary Johnson will take more votes away from Obama than from Romney.
