From Danger Democrat:

Too much democracy?

Last weekend the Working Families Party started interviewing candidates that they might endorse for their ballot line. It occured to DD that this is one of the most politically healthy operational details that any current political party does. They interview and then the dues paying membership gets a chance to vote on which candidates will be awarded the line. That's way too much democracy for any of the other parties including my own. Good for the WFP.

From Danger Democrat:

Not one from Jefferson County

Today in Syracuse The Working Families Party is conducting a seminar on Energy and Jobs. Elected officials from all over the general region were invited.
I glanced through the list of elected officials planning to attend and found out that not one from Jefferson County was listed. Too bad.
