"John Anderson pulled in 3% of the black vote in 1980. Who was around for that race? Did he have a big war chest?"

plenty, compared to the real alternative candidate...he was part of the debates, was officially dubbed "reasonable", and barry commoner was the left-out leftist of that time...

and maybe the best progressive to have run for president in the modern era, since he was both an excellent teacher and an excellent speaker, who minced no words in his devavstating critique of the environment of corporate capital, and whose words could be understood by anyone , not just the formally educated...
