Minor party, major possibilities

The Working Families Party had a big showing in the past election, which I'm glad to see. I like the WFP, and in fact I voted on their line for everything except for judges, whom they didn't endorse. It's a model organization when it comes to taking advantage of New York's cross-endorsement rules to do what a third-party ought to do: push issues into the mainstream dialogue without harming the existing parties. And the way they keep things simple and tackle economic issues by giving them a moral imperative could become a model for the national Democratic party.
