Yes, we have. One of our original state chairmen ran for the state senate in AL as a Republican in a special election and won.

We backed a FReeper in a Congressional special election in IL last year, and she won her Republican primary. The GOP wouldn’t lift a finger for her in the general, unfortunately, so she was not able to surmount what was already a very steep hill.

We have other candidates, some running as Republicans, some as Independents, some AIP. Some of them will make it through the process. But we’re still in the early stages of our formation, so we don’t expect that many to do so already in 2010.

Just so you know, we’re not like any other third party there has ever been in this country. We’re what we call a “meta-party.” Beyond party. We make our political affiliations and endorsements based on a set of core American principles, not on something so marginally important as voter registration or party affiliation.

Still you and your fellow AIP members are bunch of losers...

Here's an interesting question: Has the American Independence Party (which is the pissant little third party that EternalVigilance is always shilling for, since he has a financial interest in it) ever actually managed to get somebody elected?

"Yes, we have. One of our original state chairmen ran for the state senate in AL as a Republican in a special election and won."

So a guy left your party and became a Republican, and won an election, how did you get him elected?

Do you have the link to when Paul Sanford was the America's Independent Party's, State Party Chairman?
