		The party also proved inept in convincing the rank and file members to put aside their racial prejudices; when "faced [with] a choice between white supremacy and a Populist governor...they chose white supremacy." These election results also indicated a major vulnerability of third parties.
		A third party must meet two challenges: it must convince the majority of voters that the reforms it is advocating are necessary, and it must convince them of the viability of the third-party challenge.

	Reform Party Reaffirms Nader Is Nominee (washingtonpost.com)
		To many longtime Nader backers, the alliance with a party that has struggled since the withdrawal from public life of its founder, Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot, is an unlikely, and some say unfortunate, marriage of convenience.
		Throughout the 2004 campaign, Nader -- who ran on the Green Party ticket in 1996 and 2000 but was denied that party's endorsement this year -- has drawn criticism for seeking or accepting help from those of all political stripes.
		He is said to be wooing the Natural Law Party in California, where he previously sought the nomination of Peace and Freedom Party, which instead chose activist Leonard Peltier, who is serving a life sentence for murder.

		The initial reaction from Reform Party officials was mixed but far from forbidding at the possibility of Buchanan creating a three-way contest of the presidential campaign.

		The Reform rules require a prospective nominee to make a good-faith effort to qualify for the ballot in the 29 states, plus the District of Columbia, where the party does not have an automatic slot.

	Reform Party History
		This, in large part, was due to the razzing the Party had been receiving since 1992: political pundits were constantly claiming that the entire organization revolved around Perot and his money (although Perot himself had not been involved in any way with Party operations since his '96 run).
		The Reform Party did not have a mass of fanatical loyalists to beat back the tide; being a populist movement, the Party had concentrated its efforts on getting its message out rather than in signing up new members.
		The Reform Constitution is quite clear on how such matters are to be handled: those states whose delegates are NOT challenged get to vote as to which delegation will be allowed in from each state, with a simple majority prevailing.

	DLC: Idea of the Week: A Reform Insurgency
		Americans hate the complexity of the federal tax system, and Republicans are certain to continue their bait-and-switch strategy of exploiting this sentiment to propose an elimination of progressive taxation and a shift in the tax burden from income earned by wealth to income earned by work.
		Democrats should champion their own tax reform agenda, not only resisting regressive Republican proposals and opposing further efforts to increase the deficit through tax cuts, but also calling for the consolidation of tax breaks for middle-class families into four broad areas: retirement savings, college costs, incentives for homeownership, and support for families.
		At stake is not simply the solvency of our retirement system and our federal government, but the interests and political loyalties of millions of younger middle-class voters who increasingly believe their current earnings and their own retirement security will be sacrificed to keep the old system going for a few more decades.
