In an editorial, Colorado’s Vail Daily News praises the state’s ballot access laws, saying the requirements are “pretty easy. Look at your ballot come November and you’ll see candidates from just about every group but the Tinfoil Hat party, and they may be running someone. Colorado has the right idea of letting just about anyone run for president. In an age when so many in our country believe the two-party system is broken (not a new thought, by the way), it’s devilishly hard to break those parties’ stranglehold on national politics.”

The Daily News concludes, “And anyone who votes for Nader — or Libertarian Bob Barr or anyone else — will be casting either a throwaway or a kiss-my-heinie vote. But part of the fun of America is the dream that just about anyone can grow up to be president. That may not be true, but just about anyone can run. That’ll have to do for now.”
