Series: Third Party Candidates Running for President of the USA
From: Dave Brooksher
Length: 00:10:54
Socialism got a lot of attention in the 2008 election. Not since 1920, when Eugene Debs ran a jail-house campaign for President (winning roughly 4% of the popular vote), have so many people been worried about the notion of a socialist president. And while John McCain is throwing the word around as an insult, some Americans are wearing it with pride.
