Gerry Adams Heads South to Run for Irish Parliament Seat
By Theunis Bates - AOL News
LONDON (Nov. 15) -- For almost 40 years, Gerry Adams has been the leading political voice of the Republican movement in British-ruled Northern Ireland. But now the Sinn Fein president plans to shift his focus south of the border and run for election in the Republic of Ireland. When the next Irish general election is called, Adams will stand in the Louth constituency on the Republic's east coast and quit his seats in Northern Ireland's Legislative Assembly and the British Parliament in London. He said Sunday that it was his "duty to step forward," as his left-wing party could heal the ...
Simon Ribeiro: Why You Should Vote for Me
By not in system - AOL NewsEvery congressional election is important. It is the one time you can pick your leaders. At work you cannot pick your boss, but in the election you can pick your leader! We need an independent third party in power in America to counter the two corporate-sponsored partisan parties. The Green Party is the best party today because it provides the best solutions to the problems America and the world are facing. When everyone is talking about "going green" but then votes non-Green, it does not make sense. The Green Party in power will make "America go Green" and will bring about peace, ...
G. Scott Deshefy: Why You Should Vote for Me
By not in system - AOL NewsTime is long overdue to elect a Green Party candidate to Congress. Our nation and the planet are in deep trouble, and the moneyed two-party stacking of the electoral deck, producing decades of incompetence in Congress, is jointly responsible. Unlike my opponents, I am prohibited by Green Party bylaws from taking a single nickel of corporate or PAC donations. Unlike my opponents, I am neither a career politician nor a high-paid reader of Teleprompters. I'm a scientist and collegiate lecturer, who devoted 26 years of state service (Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection) to defending ...
New Polls Show Trouble Signs for Deval Patrick in Massachusetts Governor's Race
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyA pair of new polls both show a competitive Massachusetts governor's race, but one has Democratic incumbent Deval Patrick just one point ahead of Republican Charlie Baker, while the other gives him a 6 point cushion. A Boston Globe poll conducted Sept. 17-22 has Patrick in a statistical tie with Baker, leading him by 35 percent to 34 percent with Democrat-turned-independent Tim Cahill at 11 percent, Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent and 14 percent undecided. The margin of error is 3 points. A Western New England College Polling Institute survey conducted Sept. 19-23 has Patrick ...
Green Party Mourns Young Hopeful Killed by SUV
By Michael Brick - AOL News
(Sept. 23) -- Her best friend was her dog, Bill. She crocheted. She spent weekends exploring unfamiliar neighborhoods around Baltimore. As a runner, swimmer and cyclist, she told people she was "never happier" than the day she learned the triathlon combined all three sports in one. And right up to the end, she said she wanted to help her country return to its ideals. In an election season lousy with candidates waving the banner of fury, Natasha Pettigrew couched her dismay with a smile. Her open manner extended as far as posting her cell phone number online. Against the backdrop of mainstream ...
'Green' Candidates Can Stay on Arizona Ballot Despite 'Bad Faith,' Judge Rules
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyGreen is good, an Arizona judge has ruled. Eleven disputed Green Party candidates can stay on the ballot in Arizona, Superior Court Dean Fink said, even though the rag-tag group was recruited by mischievous Republicans hoping to siphon away liberal votes from Democrats. "The court has no hesitation in finding that each of these candidates was recruited in bad faith with a purpose to confuse the voting public," Maricopa County Judge Dean Fink wrote in an opinion this week. But he said the candidates -- running for offices ranging from Arizona secretary of state to the legislature -- landed on ...
Deval Patrick Clings to Lead in Massachusetts Governor Race
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyMassachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick still holds the lead in his bid for re-election over Republican Charlie Baker and independent Tim Cahill, but still looks vulnerable in the state's gubernatorial contest, according to a poll conducted Aug. 29-31 for State House News Service. Patrick leads Baker, a former health insurance executive, by 34 percent to 28 percent with Cahill, a Democrat-turned-independent who is the state's Treasurer, at 18 percent. Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 4 percent. The margin of error is 4.8 points. But that margin for Patrick hardly looks impregnable given that ...
Arizona GOP Recruits Street People to Run on Green Ticket; Dems See Red
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyIt's already a hot campaign season in the desert. Angry Arizona Democrats say a Republican political operative in Phoenix has recruited street people to run under the Green Party banner in an effort to attract liberal voters and diminish the prospects of the Democratic Party in November. "These are people who are not serious and who were recruited as part of a cynical manipulation of the process," Paul Eckstein, a lawyer representing the Democrats, told New York Times. "They don't know Green from red." "It's unbelievable. It's not right. It's deceitful," Jackie Thrasher, a former Democratic ...
GOP's Bill Brady Leading Democrat Pat Quinn in Illinois Governor Race
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyRepublican state Sen. Bill Brady is leading Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in Illinois' gubernatorial race by 37 percent to 32 percent, with 19 percent undecided, according to a Chicago Tribune/WGN-TV poll published Sunday. There are three minor party candidates in the race. Scott Lee Cohen, who withdrew as Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in February after disclosures that he had engaged in domestic abuse and failed to pay back taxes and child support, has re-emerged as an independent. The millionaire pawnbroker, who has money to invest in his own campaign, polled 4 percent. Green ...
Alexi Giannoulias, Mark Kirk Tied in Illinois Senate Race
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyThe Illinois Senate race has sometimes seemed like an affair of who was doing a better job of losing than winning, and a new poll conducted Aug. 28-Sept. 1 conducted by the Chicago Tribune and WGN-TV has that contest all tied up, with Democrat Alexi Giannoulias and Republican Mark Kirk each getting 34 percent, with 22 percent undecided. Green Party candidate LeAlan Jones is drawing 6 percent and Libertarian Mike Labno gets 3 percent. Giannoulias, the first-term state treasurer, and Kirk, a five term congressman, both are struggling to overcome unfavorable views of them held by voters -- ...
