"November 6, 2012 General election candidates:
Democratic Party (United States) Evie Hudak: 35,664
Republican Party Lang Sias: 35,080
Libertarian Party Lloyd A. Sweeny: 5,104 "
Another villain in all this is, now Senate President, John Morse.
2010 election results:
John Morse (D) 13,866
Owen Hill (R) 13,526
Douglas W. Randall (L) 1,320
Being mostly a libertarian myself, it's rather painful to me to notice that but for the Libertarian candidates, both Hudak and Morse would likely have lost.
I'm still a libertarian, but there are purists who let perfection be the enemy of the good enough -- both ended up losing, and what we were left with was just bad.
Yes...Thank you all you stupid Libertarians....
