Lawl, the Republican started his "rebuttal" by agreeing with the Democrat. Not surprising. :D

I'm glad a Libertarian was allowed into the debate. She's a little creepy, though.

When did she talk about Bob Barr? It's a long clip.

I think I will be voting for her :D

Awesome! You know what I love about local Libertarian candidates? They're so rough around the edges! They're just normal every day individuals who decide to run for office. It's very inspiring. You see less of this in the Constitution and Green Parties. *compares Spear Lancaster for governor to Kevin Zeese for Senate* (I reside in Maryland.)

I'm just wondering why Libertarians aren't winning more in Texas. LPTX is one of the more active state affiliates in the country. http://www.lp.org/states/Texas Look at all the candidates! It's almost a full slate!

The Democrats and Republicans have convince 90% of the population that third parties are a wasted vote.

Damn. I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner. I gotta get this out to my friends and co-workers.

That and nobody wants to be a spoiler. It's a hard sell [to lawmakers], but preferential voting would definitely give 3rd parties a few seats in Washington.
