Alan Keyes, "America's Independent Party," no Wiki article?
Hi, in the Results sub-section, why isn't the above titled America's Independent (political party) a hyperlink to a Misplaced Pages article? I found America's Party, but several articles end up saying, 1) "Create Page," or 2) are disambiguation, or 3) are confused with the ol' "Independent Party" actual party, or 4) are not to be confused with Americans who vote (small i) independently, or lastly are 5) about those like Nader who align with no Official Party at all.. Any ideas? -Peter aka Vid2vid (talk) 03:20, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
- P.S. If one Googles, "America's Independent Party," the following results:
"Did you mean: American Independent Party

Negativity
The 2008 election, despite its high turnout and unusual enthusiasm, also featured attack ads from both campaigns which were deemed to be unusually provocative. McCain, for example, had released an ad that erroneously claimed that Obama had supported sex education for Kindergarteners.
