The Working Families Party of New York will formally choose a presidential nominee on September 5. It is overwhelmingly likely that it will nominate President Obama.
The real mystery concerning New York ballot-qualified parties is which presidential candidate the Independence Party will choose. The deadline for qualified parties to submit this information is September 10. The New York State Independence Party continues to tell people that it will decide on September 22, but that is too late.
Are there other active Working Families Parties fielding presidential candidates this year?
No, even though they could if they wanted to, in Connecticut, Oregon, South Carolina, and Vermont.

I hope the IP picks Rocky Anderson or someone not named Romney or Obama
For being the Independence Party, they don’t support many independents.
“It is overwhelmingly likely that it will nominate President Obama.”
Too much understatement.
More like, “Obama will be the nominee unless Biden becomes president before their meeting.”

They should endorse Stewart Alexander of the Socialist Party if they really want to be pro working class.
