Sorge and Marx aside, there are some serious issues concerning Woodhull's party.
According to Wikipedia,
"In 1872, Douglass became the first African American nominated for Vice
President of the
United States, as Victoria Woodhull's running mate on the Equal Rights Party
ticket. He
was nominated without his knowledge. Douglass neither campaigned for the ticket
nor
acknowledged that he had been nominated."
There's hardly any mention of Douglass in Messer-Kruse's book except
that he was nominated. I ordered a copy of Barbara Goldsmith's highly
regarded bio of Woodhull and will report back on what it says. Frankly,
I wouldn't be surprised if what Wiki said is true.
