CA: The AIP vs. the "Big Box" Parties

From the American Free Press:

Chelene Nightingale is not a household name in every corner of America; but this American Independent Party (AIP) gubernatorial candidate is making tremors in the key state of California, as various candidates across the country with messages contrary to mainstream Democrats and Republicans make inroads. . . . Ms. Nightingale is running outside the two-party system itself, under the banner of the AIP, which is California’s Constitution Party sub-affiliate. She has scant AIP competition in the June 8 primary and expects to campaign all year long until the November general election, unlike Medina, who chose to stay in the hostile GOP machine and got knocked out early.

Notably, Ms. Nightingale is seen in her economically strangled state as having a reasonable chance against well-financed candidates from the two “big box” political parties. Nightingale’s campaign manager, John Baldwin, told AMERICAN FREE PRESS March 8 that in comparing web traffic, her campaign has been edging out Republican-endorsed candidate Steve Poizner. This is notable since Poizner has spent $20 million while Nightingale operates on minimal funding.
