Good. The only votes he will get would have voted Demoncrat otherwise.

This is somewhere between irrelevant news and good news for the Republican candidate.

It is good news because Berg will pull some of the Democrat votes away from the Democrat candidate.

It is almost irrelevant because he will not pull more than a dozen or so votes away.

This race will be short of "neck and neck."

Berg will loose by more than a head.

He owns a 13-year-old car.

I bet it pollutes the air something awful!

I don't know about that. He may become very useful if it is a tight race between the Pub and the Rat. He could draw enough votes out of the rat camp to give us a win.

Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder. He cannot (or refuses) see the true enemy.

good idea. I think "progressives" around the country should adopt this platform and run for congress in their states. It would give those unhappy with their representatives in CA, MA, OH, NY, PA, NJ and throughout the land, a voice.

A bit macabre but he will likely get his son's (illegal) vote.

More fringe candidate's to split the Dem's wouldn't be a bad idea.

This ghoul will help Castle and hurt the rat. At least he will provide some benefit to this country.
