Just to rub salt in the uber - anarchists wounds....

1980, Ed Clark - 37,643

One of our judicial candidates got over a million votes:

Judge, Court of Criminal Appeals Place 9

Cathy Cochran - Incumbent REP - 4,705,441 - 81.88%
William Bryan Strange, III LIB - 1,040,809 - 18.11%

We live for another two years. They will probably raise the bar once again to 20% to make sure we can't stay on the ballot.

I believe that this is where Libertarians should focus their energies. Local elections such as county sheriff and Judicial postions
are very effective. Keep up the good work.

Well done B-Dizzle.

I've been thinking about the GOP meltdown and the opportunity to bring the fiscal conservatives and civil libertarians over to our side. You're far more active than I am (I pay dues, that's about it), what's the party got going on?
