If only the LP can ever be like the Prohibition Party in the past with such a successful electoral history…
Well, all kidding aside at least the Prohibition Party HAS a history and is mentioned in most history texts. They have even polled a higher popular vote percentage for president than either the Libertarians or the Constitutionalists AND if I am not mistaken they have actually elected a person to the U.S. House of Representatives from California and the governor of Florida. Not recently, of course, but what the hell. Tease away…

I miss Earl Dodge. He had some great buttons.
So has the Prohibition Party already celebrated their 140th anniversary, or is it later this year?
