I remember hearing the CP presidential candidate (Gus Hall) saying that neither the DP nor the GOP candidate would step on the toes of big business, but that the CP would step on its neck. I think that was in 1972, when the CP ran its own independent campaign, but most of its members supported McGovern and the USSR, its patron, supported Nixon. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
