Announced Candidates
No Picture Gene Amondson announced his intention to run for president on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. [24]
No Picture Earl Dodge has been the party's candidate for the past six elections. However, in 2004, the Prohibition Party divided into two factions.

The two factions have not been reconciled, so a similar scenario appears likely for 2008. The faction of the Party that recognizes Dodge as national chairman held its national presidential convention, with delegates from three states, on June 12 in Arvada, Colorado. The convention chose Earl Dodge for president and Howard Lydick for vice-president. [25]
