I say he was killed for attempting to spoil the GOP race.
Sorry to hear this sad news. I feel for his family.
From an electoral perspective...
This will increase his name ID, and he will also get a lot of sympathy votes as a result.

Oh, well.
If this is the best epitaph you can come up with for a man, be advised--I'll leave strict orders to have you shot if you attempt to mount the pulpit at my funeral.
Of course, there are certain advantages to staffing the Congress with the dead. Can't smell any worse. And it leaves less seats open for the undead like McCain...

Didn't someone start a list of anti-establishment people killed in odd plane crashes? Starting with the wife of E. Howard Hunt and including Jon-Jon Kennedy?
They tried that $#@! with Nigel Farage (UKIP)...

Ever the emotional one, aren't we, Collins?
Sorry, I was replying to Green73's comment just above mine.

No, Matt.
Talking about how a candidate's death will help him poll better can only make people wonder how cold-blooded you are, make them wonder if you're stupid enough to think dead candidates actually get sworn in to office, or both.
You can't get your foot out of your mouth on this one...
No, not at all.... that wasn't my point.
People above were alluding to conspiracy theories about his death. My point is that this candidate's unfortunate death will probably help him in the polls in my opinion. That therefore negates conspiracy theories. THAT was my point.
Nice try at trying to attack me though.... #fail.

He is correct though. The biggest problem with the LP candidate from the GOP perspective is that he is on the ballot at all. Too late to take the name off, so there would be no "conspiracy" incentive to have him killed. His death changes nothing politically and even makes things slightly worse since his name will be in the news for a couple days and he'll end up with far greater name recognition than he otherwise would have.
People voting for a dead man = people voting for someone capable of taking the oath of office. And if voters who vote for someone who has been dead two or three weeks are lampooned in the media, no one will laugh at them.
Got it.
Dead people get more votes?
I can understand dead people voting but I don't understand people voting for the dead.
People love to vote for those with whom they have something in common...
Oh come on. From a pure statistical standpoint Matt is right. Whether bring it up now is to soon is another debate.
Fred Thompson got a lot of votes in TN even though he had dropped out by the time the primaries came around in TN in 2008.

So?
They don't care who wins as long as the third party 'won't play ball' candidate loses. And discouraging that sort of behavior is its own reward.
Besides, this is all a distraction. The real question is, what (if anything) was he about to divulge..?
Ummmmm....huh? How? If the conspiracy is to keep the person out of office, and that person is now dead, how did the conspiracy fail?

LOL you are so not with the program.
The Libertarian could never win, so obviously he only ever entered the race to steal votes from the Demopublican so the Republicrat could win, see. Or vice versa, I can never tell them apart without a program.
What he was about to reveal couldn't possibly enter into it. And he couldn't possibly not care if the Red Establishmentarian or the Blue Establishmentarian won, either, because we've all been irrevocably brainwashed to care about that.
Are we with the program now? No?
Good.

Although it did kinda work out that way for Mel Carnahan or Jean Carnahan.
Okay. He wasn't in danger of winning, just "spoiling". Nevermind.

Maybe it had something to do with that thread about terry braindead (IA's Governor) that turned into several pages of nonsense ranting.
I have an autographed copy of Revolution: A Manifesto for sale. Mint condition, inquire within. (I don't sign in often, so please allow plenty of time for a response)
