democracy now! is covering the green party's convention in baltimore with three pieces linkable from here. amy goodman reports that roseanne barr has also been a candidate for the nomination. below, a mainstream media piece i found from about a year ago (usually not watching the stuff, myself).
since we're digging around in the rafters of third parties, i also found this extended conversation with jerry levy of brattelboro, who was a presidential candidate for the socialist party u.s.a. nomination (they already had their convention in 2011).
there are no rafters for the justice party since they are newly established.
but here is an interesting 2004 conversation with howard zinn on voting 3rd party during the kerry/bush battles. he finds his way through the big morally troubling questions (the ones "they" never ask "themselves" about what "they're" doing) by asking whether or not one is in a swing state.
more blogging on the 2012 presidential election here, and linking backwards from there.
