I’m glad that I have a third alternative. Run Bob Run.
and he is a ‘name’!
Face it, out side of Perot, Nader, the Dems and the GOP, no one in the general population remembers third party ‘local losers’ from past presidential election cycle[s]!
How ever revered no name party loyalists are with the tiny inside cabal, in the bigger world —–they are still no names…..
To promote alternative voting systems and give observers some sense of the comparative and shared support among LP presidential candidates, I’m administering a ranked-choice voting demonstration election.
The link to vote in this demonstration election accompanies this post, but it is:

Don,
You forgot George Wallace, John Schmitz, Lester Maddox, Benjamin Spock, Eugene McCarthy, and John Anderson!
Phil
And I am supposed to be awake when I blog?
Point[s] well taken. Too bad about McCarthy and RFK in 1968! Kennedy should have done the ungreedy, honorable thing and supported the Peace Movement, not usurp it!
What a different world it would be with McCarthy/ Kennedy in 1968 and 1972!
Thanks for the kind remarks, Don. By the way, I forgot to mention John Rarick (American Independent Party) in 1980.
