Evans says he's quitting U.S. Senate race

Associated Press

published: 10/17/2002

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Kurt Evans issued a statement Thursday evening saying he was suspending his U.S. Senate campaign and giving his support to Republican John Thune.

Evans had qualified for the Nov. 5 ballot as a Libertarian candidate. He could not be reached for comment.

Thune, the state's lone representative in the U.S. House, is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson.

"I've come to believe Congressman Thune is the best candidate in the race," Evans said in his statement.

"Apparent cases of voter fraud in South Dakota serve as a vivid reminder that our entire political system depends upon truth and honesty. In recent days it has become increasingly clear to me that Congressman Thune shares my commitment to being a man of integrity and character."

That's fantastic news. I gotta say, the more I learn about Libertarians, the more respect I have for them. They know when to make a statement... and when to do what's best for the country. No doubt a GOP-controlled Senate will do more for Libertarians than DEMS ever would. Thanks, Curt!

Kurt Evans was on the ballot for the at-large House seat in 1996 and received 2.1% of the vote.

Now if we can just get it to snow up there on the 5th, we'll have it made.

Atta boy!!

Wow. This IS news. Typically the Libertarian is a single-issue "legalize drugs" type who DOESN'T CARE whether or not the Republican supports 90% of his agenda. The LP simply wants to peel away 0.4% of the vote and then gloat when a socialist 'rat defeats a "drug warrior" in congress. (notice their excitement over defeating one of congress' biggest 2nd amendment supporters, Bob Barr)

Take back your party, Curt!

Now this shows character. Soon-to-be Gov. Rounds should reward him in kind for this selfless action.
