Okay, so, the two largest political parties now have picked the worst candidates possible, Rick Snyder from the GOP and Virg Bernero of the Democratic Party, what now?
Perhaps some on this forum don't mind either of those two candidates, but let's be honest, neither of them are liberty-minded in the least bit.
So, I will be voting 3rd Party this time around. So far, I have found two options, I haven't really been impressed. Go figure, after all, they are 3rd Party candidates... It would be nice if a 3rd Party could actually find an effective candidate and actually orchestrate some form of a campaign, instead of just being a place holder on the ballot...
From the U.S. Taxpayer's Party, we have Stacey Mathia. Her stances on the issues are great, including support for bringing home the National Guard. Problem is, her campaign website needs SERIOUS work and I am not sure if she is actually running a serious campaign or just thought it would be fun to try it out.

From the Libertarian Party, we have Ken Proctor. His stances seem decent, but is quite vague and in actuality hasn't taken many positions. His webiste is a little better than Mathia's, but it needs work as well.

Needless to say, these two candidates will probably only amount to less than 5% of the vote come election day, especially if they don't take their campaigns seriously.
Anyway we can work on these two candidates and bring them into relevance for the November election?
