2004 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Walt Brown was selected to be the presidential standard bearer of the Socialist Party USA (SPUSA), though far from unanimously. The former Democratic Party state senator, though long a socialist, was considered by many to be too socially conservative for the party. In the opinion of many, Brown was less left-wing than the non-socialist candidates of the United States Green Party ( David Cobb) and Reform Party USA ( Ralph Nader, who also ran as an independent).
The major rift within SPUSA was over Brown’s position on abortion rights. The Socialist Party calls for complete reproductive freedom for women, whereas Brown personally opposed partial-birth abortion. Brown did agree to run on the party’s platform, however, creating some odd instances when during debates, he would read from a printout of the party program rather than state his own opinion.
Even Brown’s vice presidential running mate, Mary Alice Herbert, was far from a steadfast supporter of Brown’s candidacy. Herbert was originally angling to be the running mate for the more stridently leftist Eric Chester , who was defeated by Brown for the nomination.
Walt Brown also attempted to gain California’s Peace and Freedom Party ballot line, but like Ralph Nader, he was rebuffed in favor of incarcerated Native American activist and some-say political prisoner, Leonard Peltier.
Despite all of the challenges surrounding his campaign, Walt Brown did best his most recent SPUSA counterparts, earning more votes than any of his party’s presidential candidates since 1952. The Socialist Party has run candidates for president every election cycle 1900 through 1956, and then again 1976 through 2004.
Though Walt Brown’s total of just 10,285 votes was a far cry from Eugene V. Debs’ near 6% showing in 1912 (over 900,000 votes), it was still more than double the SPUSA’s 5,040 vote presidential average for candidates since 1976, with the previous best being just 6,898 for David McReynolds in 1980, (McReynolds ran again for president on the SPUSA ticket in 2000, earning just 5,602 votes, and he also ran as the Green Party’s nominee for U.S. Senator in 2004).
