Good job, but I'm wondering what the point of a political party is nowadays. Why not just run as independents? Push for instant runoff voting. Instant runoff voting would likely destroy the two (more accurately one) party system. Even without instant runoff voting, independents could compete better nowadays because of the internet.

All you have to look at is the candidates remaining for the Republicans/GOP in the NV US Senate race...

Danny Tartanian - Republican? GOP? This guy and his entire family have been Liberals/Democrats all their lives. Danny mother is a Democrat politician in the LV council and Danny himself has donated to Democrats.

Sue Lowden - Sue Lowden used to be the chairman of the NVGOP and screwed the Ron Paul/Huckbee/and even some Romney delegates that all voted for Ron Paul nomination of delegates for the Minneapolis Republican Presidential election. Lowden went out of her way to shut down meeting/election, the voting process and hid (purposely lost the ballot boxes). Lowden Screwed NV delgates, the voting process and rules and is a NEOCON RINO Party Firster.

We did have a Ron Paul conservative Republican running (Robin Titus) but recently dropped out due to lack of campaign donations/funds.

Sun columnist Jon Ralston is reporting that the Tea Party has qualified as a third party in Nevada and will have a candidate in the Senate race to battle for the seat held by Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The party has filed a Certificate of Existence but needs to get 1 percent of the electorate to vote for its candidate in November to permanently qualify, according to the report.

Ralston reported that Jon Ashjian will be the Tea Party's U.S. Senate candidate on the November ballot. Ashjian still must declare his candidacy.

There are six other third-party candidates going through the verification process to appear on the ballot as U.S. Senate candidates — one Reform Party hopeful and five as independents, Ralston reported.

Reid's Republican challengers currently include former state Sen. Sue Lowden, former UNLV basketball star Danny Tarkanian and former state Assemblywoman Sharron Angle.

The news also comes two days after first-term Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki said he won't run for the U.S. Senate to unseat Reid. Krolicki said Thursday he will be seeking a second term as lieutenant governor.

According to the party's constitution, the Tea Party of Nevada will "promote this nation's founding principles of freedom, liberty and a small representative government. We believe that our government under both Democrat and Republican control has led to massive national debt, crushing deficits, increased taxes; while establishing a large and powerful federal government in a direct refutation of the founding ideals of America."
