The alchemy of turning MA candidates into CANDIDATES seems mysterious and even onerous. The head of the party, John Walsh, joins us to talk about the process. The complicated signature-gathering/local-caucuses/state-convention/15%-on-single-ballot path predates his chairmanship and has state legal requirements, but he will explain what happens, how and why. It's simpler in other states. We'll consider pluses and minuses. At least one candidate for US Senate is not happy with what we do.
