On the up side, this cycle (for the November 2010 election) we have:
a US Senate Candidate in Tennessee
A State house candidate in New Hampshire
A forming State party in Oklahoma

The late two have happened this month or so. So we're starting to get there.

We also had some ballot space offered in Connecticut (by the
Constitution party) for the 08 election, but we had no-one who could
fill the spots. We're doing better, but we've still got a long way to go.
