The rest of the pack......
Jul. 9th, 2004 01:20 amAs a public service to the LJ community, here is a brief summary of four of the so-called "third parties" that are fielding presidential candidates this year (or have fielded candidates in 2000). I'm sure there are others, but I don't know who they are yet.
