The AJC had a big front page article on the Libertarian Party candidate for governor in the state of Georgia. The crux of the article is that dissatisfaction with the two major parties is giving a lot of impetus to the Libertarian campaign. The candidate could very well be the spoiler, forcing a run-off, though winning is very unlikely.

While reading the article, I thought I would write a blog entry about the Libertarian guy's platform and views on various issues, but the AJC was up to its usual high standards of reporting and neglected to talk much about the guy's opinions, but instead just focused on how he might screw over the Republicans.

I'm going to seek out third party candidates for elections I get to vote for, and find out what they are about about. I hope everyone else will do the same. That does not mean vote for the third party candidate, it means learn about them, and then vote for them if you think they would fill the position well. Never vote for someone just because of their party affiliation.
