It was the promise of nudes of Sheana if you got more than 20% of the vote. Oh hey, speaking of....

Run as a Republican and then switch to the Libertarian party after being elected?

Can't you pretend to be a republican or something until you get in office?

Very. Considering that I had no time/money to campaign, I was surprised I even had a thousand votes in my favor, let alone that I got basically 1 in 4 votes cast in the district.

I'm very happy with the result. To put my result into perspective, the highest % total achieved by a 3rd party State Rep candidate across the entire state was an even 24%.

More importantly, it's something I can build on in 2008. Most of the mainstream media here refuses to cover LP candidates because they don't meet one of two conditions: 1.) not currently polling 10% or more, 2.) did not have 10% or more of the vote in the previous election cycle.

Obviously they are unlikely to include me in their polls (just as they typically snub 3rd party candidates), but I can point to my result this election cycle in order to meet their requirements and get coverage.

What the fuck is that, there's like 2 families in that district and the bigger family wins.

Rich Haas got one vote. Think about that for a few seconds. It'll come to you....
