Interesting. Are they part of the residue of Perot's Reform party?

REALLY?

Hm. Well, he seems the best of those on the ballot, then, if Ron isn't, but I don't live in Kansas, and I can get Ron in as an official write in in CA, even if he doesn't get the GOP nomination. Well, I can with about 20 other RP supporters in CA, but I can't imagine it would be difficult to find them.

I think the Kansas Reform Party is basically composed of former Buchananites. The Kansas Reform Party is basically the same as the national Constitution Party, but apparently didn't like who the Constitution Party nominated this time around.

Good for them for not going with the pack.

Ummm....wish they'd done this like 4 months ago! How are they on ballot access? If I can vote for Baldwin in TN I will. Otherwise....I'm not sure at this point.

In 2000 the Buchanan Brigade pretty successfully infiltrated Perot's Reform Party and made Buchanan its presidential nominee that year. After that the whole party splintered apart. There were those who liked Perot, those who liked Jesse Ventura, and those who liked Buchanan, and the three groups didn't like each other that much. I assume the Kansas Reform Party was one group of that Buchanan Brigade who stuck together after the national party fractured.

The reform party is ballot qualified in Kansas, so Balwin should be on the ballot in Kansas, where I live. Unfortunately, Baldwin won't be on the ballot anywhere else but Kansas. I'm glad that I'll actually be able to vote for a candidate that I actually like.

Cool,, good to have an option. I like Chuck.

But Tampa hasn't happened yet.. and the Romney assumption/presumption is not a done deal. (would welcome a pleasant surprise)

still,, good to see Chuck in the playing field.

Loved his writing when he was supporting Ron,, and voted for him on Ron's endorsement.
