Reminder that more than three people are seeking the Democratic nomination to run against Ted Cruz, and that several of the "second tier" candidates, like Thierry Tchenko, are NOT "vanity candidates."

Reminder that, if you want to sign a Ballot access petition for Cornel West, RFK Jr. or anybody else, you can't vote in that primary.

Greens have a potential candidate, Mason Cysewski, who has filed Fec Paperwork. And, who ran for the US House seat in Wyoming in the past, and about whom I know nothing else. Is it this one? (It seems so, as the FEC paperwork also has a North Dakota address.) Per a thin Twitter stream which has one tweet saying he is 14 years old. Wunderbar. 

They're the only Green, so far, that Ballotpedia has listed. And, since I likely won't vote for Jill Stein, and definitely won't if she's not divested stocks, that means Greens need a statewide judicial candidate who is a serious one if they want my help in breaking the 2 percent mark to extend ballot access.
