As far as third party nominees go, it’s pretty clear that Bob Barr is in the lead. He’s getting national name recognition, but — despite taking the matter to the courts — he’s been excluded from events such as last weekend’s Saddleback Civil Forum.
Do you think he should be included, or should he be excluded?

Bob Barr’s name will be on the ballot in all fifty states, come November. To say that Barr is a viable third party candidate is putting the situation mildly.
Ralph Nader was accused of ’spoiling’ John Kerry’s run for president in 2004. Nader was only on the ballot in 34 states.
I won’t argue that Barr […]
The news has been full of potential candidates for the vice presidential slots on both the Democratic and Republican tickets. But Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has already selected her second: Rosa Clemente.
McKinney has been on the mainstream radar at least a little bit as a member of the House of Representatives. But Clemente’s […]

I have to admit that I’ve gotten pretty used to seeing Ralph Nader’s name on the ballot, right next to the Green Party. But, according to various sources, Cynthia McKinney seems to have tied up this year’s Green Party nomination. She’s managed to […]
The Libertarian Party’s National Convention is off to a good start in Denver. It will run until May 26th, and between now and then over a thousand delegates will decide between 14 different candidates for the presidential nominee.

Most of the dozens of third parties in the US are state-, region-, or issue-specific. A good example is the Alaskan Independence Party, which claims to have about 13,500 members, making it the state’s third largest party. If you live in Fairbanks, check out their party convention, going on this weekend at the Regency Fairbanks […]
It may be difficult to tell whether the Pansexual Peace Party is a joke, or a serious foray into electoral politics.
For instance:
The party appears to have 3 official websites (my favorite is linked above), but two of them include a rather thoughtful, short anti-Libertarian essay by the party’s founder, Reverend Jimi Freidenker.
Reverend Freidenker refers to […]
The US Marijuana Party’s name says it all. This single-issue party is dedicated to the legalization of marijuana and the cessation of the War on Drugs. Specifically, the party seeks…
“to remove all penalties for adults 18 and over who choose to consume cannabis in a responsible manner”

One of the largest third parties in the country, the Constitution Party is holding its 2008 nominating convention in Kansas City, Missouri, April 23-26.
With the belief that the US Constitution is based on explicitly Biblical principles, the Constitution Party’s mission is to “restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government […]
Formed in 2003, the Veterans First Party is dedicated to giving “Veterans and their families everything that they have earned and were promised,” and ensuring “that ALL Americans are fed, clothed, educated and cared for before we send ONE American Dollar to feed, clothe, educate and care for those of other countries.”
The party is active […]
