Jon Huntsman has been disinvited from a lavish fundraiser for the Republican National Committe. According to this story, the reason is that Huntsman said publicly a few days ago that the nation needs a new political party. Thanks to Rick Hasen for thee link.
Words of the prophets…. You are right, of course, Mr. Huntsman.
Americans Elect, here he comes.
How about a 20 percent Prez winner in Nov 2012 ??? — with a MANDATE to be EVIL crazy ???
To Dr. Dave Gillespie:
What is the best way for one to order your new book, “Challengers to Duopoly: Why Third Parties Matter in American Two-Party Politics”? I would love to read this new book and have it on my shelf beside your 1993 book, “Politics at the Periphery: Third Parties in Two-Party America.”
By the way, I noticed that Richard Winger wrote a very nice review of your book in the latest, print, issue (March 1, 2012) of “Ballot Access News.”
The Republican Party in Louisville, KY has denied everyone who signed the petition to allow a third party candidate to appear on the ballot the right to participate in the precinct conventions, regardless of the fact that they did not actively support that candidate.
The also had a “database glitch” which knocked out a few Ron Paul supporters from participating, even though they met all the criteria.
I wonder if they will kick out all those who are on the Americans Elect delegate list.
See the EVIL powermadness in Germany between the commies and nazis in 1929-1933.
ANY thing new and different ???
i.e. is Huntsman one of the few remaining SANE persons in politics in the U.S.A. ???
Thanks, Phil. Any of the online vendors (Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, etc), or you can order it from University of South Carolina Press website. Do a little comparison shopping for price. It is available now in paperback and will be out in hardbound around the middle of March. Nice of you to ask.
And yes, I really appreciate Richard’s very positive review.
Dave
Thank you so much, Dave. I am going to go ahead and order the hardbound edition from the University of South Carolina Press. There was just a recording this evening (I love the southern accent of the lady on the phone). I will call again tomorrow, during normal business hours.
