Are there primaries, or do you just declare?
Also, is there no POP candidate in the race yet? Just wondering.
Primaries are exclusively voluntary. We haven't had one since the end of the Progressive Primaries of 2008 and 2009.
I'm pretty sure there have been no primaries in any Presidential election after June 2008.
Looks like the UDL could have used one.
Why are you using the past tense?
Because Ben said he wouldn't run in a UDL primary. Though I suppose it's possible that Marokai/Purple State will get the UDL endorsement and Ben will have to run as an independent.
