This Libertarian pizza deliverer could cost Republicans the Senate [North Carolina]

A bushy-eyebrowed pizza deliverer from Durham, N.C., might keep Republicans from winning the Senate.

Sean Haugh isn't a household name and probably never will be. But he's a libertarian candidate for Senate in North Carolina, and his name is on the ballot, and recent polls shows he's doing, well, not terrible. They also show that he siphons off votes from the Republican nominee. So Democrat Kay Hagan, one of the Senate's most vulnerable incumbents, potentially stands to benefit a lot from Haugh's candidacy.

Haugh’s central goal is to get onstage for debates.

Name one important difference? No Republican is ever ever ever going to dismantle the Fascist Department of Education.

Think Libertarians should run Black Libertarians against Black democrats. That would be very interesting. Dems can’t use the usual Republicans hate black people election tactic cause the candidate is Libertarian.

Gejdenson, according to Our Campaigns, prevailed by a beefy margin of 21 votes.

The GOP-Controlled House should have emulated the rats treatment of the Frank McCloskey (ironically a ‘94 loser) race in 1984 and refused to seat Gejdenson.

1984 was the last time that power was used, wasn’t it? Such a shame. The ‘96 Dornan race was the only one I know of that they investigated, and even then, they sat Sanchez in the meantime.

Allen West and Martha McSally should be in Congress right now.

It was the McCloskey seating in 1985 that inspired Gingrich to realize the Dem majority in the House was completely power-mad and needed to be brought down. What was unique about the race is that the House overrode the Indiana Secretary of State who certified the Republican winner (McIntyre). Of course, had incumbent GOP Rep. Joel Deckard not gotten into a drunk driving jam prior to the ‘82 election, McCloskey might’ve spent the rest of his career as moonbat Bloomington’s Mayor-for-Life.

Were I voting in Kentucky, I would definitely choose the whore who is less poxed.

And why would you do that? Is it because it feels totally awesome to claim you're a conservative while voting to back-stab conservatives?

Republicans Seek Revenge Against Ted Cruz.

“Yeah, there were some committee assignments that I was in line for that were put off,” DeMint says. “I was in line after 2010 for Finance Committee and I never got it … Certainly, there were a few cold shoulders here and there.” DeMint was also passed over for ranking member of the Commerce Committee.

Libertarians are 100% right. A terrible burden for them to bear.
