There had been talk of the Reform Party attaining permanent ballot status thanks to their endorsement of Republican-Conservative Marc Molinaro --- that strategy/ tactic didn't work out so well for them.....
Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party did earn ballot status statewide with the vote total earned by that party's candidate for Governor Larry Sharpe --- at least 90,664 votes have been tallied for Mr. Sharpe, with 99% of the gubernatorial vote counted
During his campaign Mr. Sharpe pushed to legalize marijuana, eliminate the state income tax and sever New York State's ties with the U.S. Department of Education.
The Libertarian Party was formed in 1971, and it is the third-largest political party across the United States behind the two major parties, the Republicans and Democrats. At this time, according to a party spokesperson, there are approximately 186 Libertarians holding elected offices across the country --- 56 of those offices involve a partisan identification and 130 of the offices are "nonpartisan."
In addition to the Libertarians, who succeeded, and Reform Party, which did not; the Women’s Equality Party also was hoping to retain their status as a recognized party, fell well short of the 50,000 votes needed. In addition, the Green Party garnered enough to stay on for another four years.
A recognized party can field statewide candidates for four years without petitioning, if they conduct qualifying convention, also enjoys campaign fundraising perks, and can have a lower threshold for fielding legislative candidates.

My TV was recently repossessed so I didnt get any results till I went to the corner Bar & encountered some off cops who looked annoyed when they saw me. I asked how Marty was doing and they said "no results". I guess they are disabled like marty.
I saw Marty coming out of The Pour House on 3rd ave.
He mentioned something about doubling the fire insurance on the Bay Ridge Manor. You never know. We could get a big rain storm and the Manor burns down like those houses in Breezy Point.
Don't be silly! Renting a TV is for amateurs. Like the people Uncle Marty hired for his campaign.
Deposed Chairman Bob will continue to inform us with his column.
