You got it right. Joe Kennedy, senior Clinton lackey, the one who chained
himself to the White House so we wouldn't "back down" on Haiti, the only
politician who's ever sent me a campaign flyer in which there was not a
single issue on which I could agree, is running UNOPPOSED all the way back
to Washington. The reason is that the Republican's know that however
many votes they could get against Kennedy, it's better to win a few races
rather than come close but loose in many races. Therefore they target
all their money, time, and energy exclusively into the races their
prognosticators deem winnable. It's political reality.
There are no Libertarians in this race either. We might have run a
candidate, who, in a two way race, would get a decent percentage, but
only statewide races matter as far as gaining ballot access through
high voter percentages is concerned.
Thus, if any of you district 8 voters want to write me in, go ahead.
I was thinking I'd write someone in myself if the ballot had a slot
for it.
