Since the corporate media is waging its usual blackout of non-corporate candidates, here are links to the websites of all the smaller party and independent presidential candidates who are on New York state's ballot.
Ralph Nader (independent): votenader.org
Cynthia McKinney (Green): mckinney2008.com
Roger Calero (Socialist Workers): themilitant.com
Gloria La Riva (Socialism and Liberation): pslweb.org
Bob Barr (Libertarian): bobbarr2008.com
I post the websites because it's about the only place you'll find information on them, thanks to the negligent media.
Actually, I'm not sure negligent is the right word. That implies a disservice that's unintentional.
There has also been virtually no media coverage of the race for three state Supreme Court justices for northern New York. Unfortunately it's too late for me, as I mailed out my absentee ballot a few days ago.
But the Plattsburgh Press-Republican has a useful piece, what might be the only piece, on the candidates.
Update: NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday has run interviews with many of these candidates. Granted, one 5-minute or so interview per candidate is negligible compared to the gargantuan amount of free air time they've given to Obama and McCain. Still, the token NPR coverage is negligibly better than just about another other major media outlet.
NPR's interviews with...
-Ralph Nader
-Cynthia McKinney
-Bob Barr
-Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party)
