Tom, how does one "officially" start a political party. In NJ one has to raise tons of money in order to qualify for state campaign funding and be included in the state-mandated televised debates.

It's happened once in the State's history when Murray Sabrin www.murraysabrin.com ran as a Libertarian for governor.

I'm not an expert on political maneuvering but I know that the Republicrats have made it almost impossible to do sucessfully. I'll bet there are a lot of sites on the web which can tell you. Every state is different, which is to say some are worse than others. There are no good states on it. By that I mean fair, where all parties are equal.
