Don't forget Gordon Smith of OR. The Constipated party received 7% of the vote in the Senate race.

In 2002, Dems were elected Governors in OK and AZ thanks to third party candidates.

I like the GA run-off rule. It minimizes the impact of 3rd parties and could prevent messy recount battles.

I agree with what they did in GA... and I have to tell you as a citizen of AZ I am thrilled for my state that we are going to be rid of the governor from hell.

Gary Richardson was a former Republican who ran as an Indy from Tulsa and pulled enough votes from Largent on top of the poorly run campaign by Tom Cole’s consultants that we got Henry by a slim margin.

I remember writing Richardson and telling him he had no class because he was a Republican and to run as an Indy because he couldn’t win was wrong.
