Baldwin campaigns in Riverside, California

California’s Riverside Press-Enterprise reports Constitution Party presidential nominee Chuck Baldwin “stopped in the Inland area Thursday, albeit without the usual trappings of a national campaign: no motorcade, traveling press or Secret Service.” His appearance at a Riverside restaurant “was so low-key that diners probably had no idea there was a presidential candidate in their midst.” Baldwin “quietly ate bacon and eggs with a half-dozen supporters, trading tales of deer hunting and lamenting the influence of ‘liberal Democrats.” Baldwin “is on a swing through Southern California this week to build support for his presidential bid.”

Noting that the CP is known as the American Independent Party in California, the newspaper says the party “may be best known for its former figurehead, Alabama Gov. George Wallace.”
