I knew that goofball's name sounded familiar. Apparently he's so clueless that his own website had him running for governor this year when he was actually registered as their Senate candidate. That Montana Libertarian party is really on the ball, eh? Pretty sad that 10,000 Montana voters were suckered into voting for a guy who didn't even know he was running. Such informed voters...

D - Tester - 198,302 - 49%

R - Burns - 195,455 - 48%

L - Jones - 10,324 - 3%

Before anyone bashes the Libertarians too hard, recall that but for the 3rd party Ralph Nader, ManBearPig would have been elected president in 2000.

Good points about Nader. That said, I'm not thrilled with Libertarians...

A picture from his website. I take it it's an older photo.

I absolutely love it how you guys laugh and poke fun at Libertarians but when your RINO loses you whine like a toddler and expect subservience from Libertarians.

Everyone who thinks that Libertarian voters would have broken for us strongly enough for Burns to have won should remember that this election was largely about foreign and defense policy. While Libertarians agree with us on economic issues, they tend to be isolationist, and unless a particular Libertarian has managed to absorb Sun Tzu and Clausewitz, tend not to think in terms of offensive war as a proper part of defense. They might well have voted for Tester or stayed home if one of their own wasn't on the ballot.

If you can find enough Republicans who voted for Jones as a protest vote that their support would have carried the day, trash them all you want.

I for one would welcome the day when the Libertarians are our main opposition party.

"Montana's Libertarian candidate for Senate has turned blue from drinking a silver solution that he believed would protect him from disease."

And 10,000 people voted for that idiot. Amazing.

I think Libertarians actually take more votes from Democrats than Republicans - they are leftists.

Randy Cunningham in the hoosegow, the Republicans gave DeLay's old seat (and several others) to the Democrats, Montana and Ohio down the tubes because of corruption, Mark Foley diddling the hired help, a war that (charitably) isn't going quite as well as I would have hoped, the Bushmeister tries to appoint his favorite horse to the Supreme Court, $350,000,000 "bridges to nowhere", we're now protected from Internet Poker, but the only thing that gets vetoed in six years is stem cell research!

I voted straight ticket Republican, but come on, the problem ain't the Libertarians!

Stan Jones,a 63-year-old business consultant and part-time college instructor, said he started taking colloidal silver in 1999 for fear that Y2K disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics.

This guy was afraid that Y2K was going to bring about the end of civilization? This libertarian is a moron.

How do we know that Jones's supporters would have voted for Burns? Some might have voted for Tester or (mostly) not voted at all.
