With that being said, when a candidate comes to the party to ask for support and explains how they would advocate for the party's interests and we don't have a better candidate to put on the line, then we should give the voters a chance to vote for a decent democrat on the republican line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366461449486685715.post-80394922254478716172014-05-21T16:11:31.581-04:002014-05-21T16:11:31.581-04:00Thanks Gene.

Great post, D!<br /><br />Rudy Giuliani may never have been elected Mayor if it wasn’t for the cross-endorsement of his candidacy by the Liberal Party, as his margin of victory over then-Mayor David Dinkins was less than the number of votes he obtained from registered Liberals–who routinely disagree with Republicans–on their own line. But then again, Liberal party leaders were indicted for corruption and the party lost its ballot status. ;-) <br /><br />My opinion is in line with yours - the law's intent is frustrated by corruption, and the law perpetuated the existence of duplicative minor parties that insist on wagging the dog. NY's minor political parties should be made to stand on their own two feet and not be allowed to maintain their ballot status by piggy-backing off of a major party's candidate.
