ArchivesCrashing The Parties 2004By John Walters on Thursday, September 30, 2004.Third Party Candidates will be all dressed up in "Fringe" with nowhere to go this Thursday at 9 pm. While George Bush and John Kerry challenge one another's ideas on national television during the first Presidential debate, wallflowers Michael Badnarik, David Cobb, Michael Peroutka, and Ralph Nader will have to sit quietly on the sidelines. The truth is, they do not enjoy the same amount of support as the two major candidates, and therefore, are probably not viable candidates for the Presidency. But third party candidates do play a role in the democratic process. Democrats still hold Nader responsible for swaying the 2000 election and have fought hard to keep him off the dance floor in 2004. Darren Garnick is a film maker from Amherst. With Newport native, Peter Koziell, David put together his third film about so called Fringe Candidates. Crashing the Parties premiers Thursday night on WGBH at 8pm, just before the debate. You can also catch it next Friday on NHPTV at 8pm. listen:

The WorkshopBy John Walters on Wednesday, September 22, 2004.A great workshop says as much about self-expression as it does efficiency and convenience.
