IIRC this guy had the best shot of being the first Libertarian in office

A lifelong Republican, he said he became disillusioned with the party when then-governor George W. Bush began raising money from large corporations to run for president. He switched to the Libertarian Party to defend the Constitution, he said.

Hmmm, looks like he was suffering for years with an undiagnosed case of BDS.

Saddened to hear this. Thinking on elections and candidates - would not the recent DeLay decision on "staying on the ballot" apply?

Well if Delay couldn't be taken off the ballot in his district then I don't see how this candidate can be removed either. He may be the first dead Congressman elected in Texas.

I knew Eddie Lucio, Jr. when he was County Treasurer of Cameron County. It's a very political family and the Democratic candidate is a shoe-in here unfortunately. Also, it's practically a lifetime appointment down there.
