William Z. Foster;1924,1928,1932
Earl Browderm; 1936,1940
Gus Hall;1972, 1976, 1980, 1984
plus there's been a boatload of Socialists..
Hilliary and Barak are the two most in today's spotlight.
The commies like gun control (the first act of an oppressive government is to disarm its citizens), taxes, SS, in short anything that takes control and possessions away from the citizens.
Remember, Karl Marx is the founder of Communism and his best most famous quote is, "From each according to his ability and to each according to his need."
That sounds all fine and dandy, but it just does not work. Not on this planet. Not as long as there is even one human who has the ambition promised to a clam will communism work like that.
You will end up with an oppressive, dictatorial, socialistic government and no individual rights at all.

Communists, if they are smart, don't generally reveal themselves as communists until after they get power. This is true in the case of Castro and Mugabe, for example. It's also generally true for Lenin, who started out in Russia's social democrat party. Especially Castro, though, who provised social reform and then declared himself a communist immediately after the revolution. I would look for someone who's ideals mirrors communist ones, but masks them as socialist humanitarian ones (Hillary, of course).

The current party leader is named Sam Webb. Apparently, they haven't fielded a presidential nominee since 1984.

In a speech given in 1944 by the 6 time Socialist Party Candidate Norman Mattoon Thomas a quote - The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name "liberalism" "They will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." I no longer need to run as a presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform. . In the late 50's the Communist Party of America disbanded in name do to the pressures of the cold war and McCarthyism and took over the Democrat party

Clinton and Obama
Hillary is a bit more moderate but Obama is far too left.

I can't answer your questions quickly, but have you taken a look at their web page. I'm sure these details can be found there.
Good luck.
BTW, I started to get sick just looking at their pages, so be careful!
