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 other words your candidate was too weak to attract votes from a nobody in a nothing party. No wonder he lost.
Don’t blame the voters for actually having a preference and not choosing who you like.
The TEA Party was 100% behind Harmer. He’s very conservative. The AIP can go...%$@*& themselves.
We could have successful third parties if it weren’t for the electoral college. I would like to replace it with race between all interested candidates. If no candidate got a majority of votes, then there would be a run off between the top two candidates.
Where did this unknown AIP candidate get enough $$$ to get 5% of votes? It would fit the template of a typical rat stategy: fund a third-party candidate to syphon away votes from the GOP. That’s what they did to steal DeLay’ district in 2006, among many others.
Perhaps those AIP voters would not have voted at all if there was no AIP candidate in the race.
The new ballot system can’t get here soon enough..... Boxer would of only one by 4-5% points on the right ballot, not nearly the blowout 10% points. Rossi has a fighting chance up there beause their is no libertian who took 63000 votes last time on the ballot.
