Three days out from election day Will Barclay, who has lost twice now in his battle to secure the Independence Party ballot line and is threatening further legal action, says he wants to be in court Monday and is "keeping all options open." They must feel that they really, really need that line.
In other news, Danger Democrat says the state IP committee had an emergency meeting this morning and endorsed Barclay.
Danger Democrat has just learned than the Independence Party state committee met this morning by teleconference. That committee has now endorsed William Barclay as their candidate in SD 48. This is a necessary step for the federal civil rights case that will be made Monday by the IP.
The state leaders of the IP are very close to Joe Bruno and the Senate republicans. Therefore, this is in reality a political device to wedge Barclay's name on the coveted third ballot line. Will keeps lawyering on.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. The GOP was supposed to win this one in a walk. Now they are kicking and screaming to secure a third ballot line three days before the election.
