Good response.

Instead of saying, “They stole it!” and sounding like we are from DU, we ought to be asking:

What can we learn about this election?

How can we convince people that what we tell them is good and in their best interest?

How to we get our values across?

How do we not repeat the mistakes of the past?

In other news, Bob Barr and his Libertarians appear to have received about 210,000 votes - or slightly more than half the votes the Libertarians received in 2004.

That's the lowest raw number of votes they have received since 1976 and the worst percentage showing since the party was founded in 1972.

Baldwin's Constitution Party is projected to have garnered about 32,000 votes. This is the worst showing ever for the Constitution Party, even considering their previous history as the US Taxpayers Party.

They combined for less than a quarter million votes.

The usual suspects on FR were claiming that Barr and Baldwin would get as much as 10 or 15 percent of the vote due to defections of "true conservatives" from the McCain GOP, and that if McCain failed the age of the third party would finally come to pass.

Maybe those folks will adapt to reality now and accept that third parties are businesses whose business model is extracting campaign contributions from the gullible.

Or maybe they will ignore reality and dissolve into a sputter of insults and whining.

The result is the same.
