Another third party loser who just spoils the race for the Republican who can win. We probably lost 10 or more House seats because of fools like this, and probably lost the Nevada Senate race too.

In winner-take-all elections, any and all third parties hurt themselves and their cause. And that's all they accomplish. The Tea Party has the right approach—the only one that has a reasonable chance of working, and that doesn't hurt the cause win or lose: Run candidates under the banner of one of the two major parties in the primaries. Try to take over the established, major party from within. You can even try to do that to BOTH parties at once. There's nothing magical about the names of the parties, or what the other members of the parties profess. How do you think the Democrats evolved from Thomas Jefferson to what they are now? That evolution can be reversed the same way it was accomplished.

The infamous Hammerhead-Shark District has claimed another victim.

Why don’t pubbies run a green or peace and freedom candidate? Why is it that pubbies are so effin naive? Its war out there and the dems know how to battle. Running a third party against your opponent just makes good sense and is entirely within “fair play” politics, especially when its to neutralize the third party running against pubbies. A greenie or peace and freedom candidate likely would have drawn many votes from Mcnurdly.

We should run some unknown unseen candidates under the “Black Panther Party” name and watch how many clueless African Americans throw away their votes in the name of “racial pride”.

This is really too damn bad. I’m very impressed with Harmer, he was one county away from me being able to vote for him. McNerney is the very caricature of a true zero, a nothing.

Why doesn’t “caricature” have an “h” as the second letter?

Just another mystery.

There are alot of absentee ballots yet to be counted from San Jauquin County which is Pombo's old stomping ground.

Harmer still has a shot at this.

Need watchers at the Registrar of Voters offices in Santa Clara, San Joaquin, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties to make sure no shenanigans take place (see CA bulletin board)
