“Paul/Goldwater could be a really cool ticket. =)”

IAWTC. I’d vote for that over meh candidates like Barr and Baldwin.

Yeah, and the Michigan BTP, which was sending out a flurry of press releases, has been silent. They only needed to find 17 electors to give Charles Jay write-in status. The deadline was Friday.

On a semi-related note, does anyone have any idea what Charles Jay is up to? There’s not much on his website and he seems less active than he was in ’04, when he was only on the ballot in one state, not four or five.

They should move Paul to the top and pick a different VP. Then the Doctor would be on the ballot in at least three states.

Let’s get a draft Milnes effort going. He might offer more than Pickens at this point…

Gary Johnson is willing to be on the ballot, yes.

But, Im not going to email the IGP about it. They made a deal with the Baldwin campaign and they should hold to it. The only acceptable substitution to that would be Baldwin/Paul.

That would be cool. Did I read correctly that Gary Johnson was willing to go on ballot too? That’d round things off nicely, maybe you should forward the suggestion on to the IGP.

Paul/Goldwater could be a really cool ticket. =)

Wouldnt be incredible to have Goldwater jr. in Louisiana campaigning for the ticket their and Michael Peroutka in Montana campaigning for that ticket their?

Ah, that’s probably too much to ask for.

They could just keep their old promise and the big-draw at the same time and nominate RP/Baldwin in either order, since it seems Paul doesn’t mind being listed on the top slot.

Fred – What I meant by “alternative” ticket was a ticket other than Baldwin/Castle, McKinney/Clemente, etc., i.e. not a crazy ticket of people who’ve never met and/or don’t like each other or agree on anything.

But at least Milnes’s delusional energy socialist plots aren’t designed merely to line his own pockets. For that, he has the great electoral strategy he’s willing to turn over to a better candidate, so long as he’s kept on as a paid consultant.

By: Fred Church Ortiz

Fred Church Ortiz — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 03:36:20 +0000

Is this just another publicity stunt, or will the Indy Greens really go forward with an alternative ticket?

I’m sure they’ll end up running somebody…

T. Boone Pickens is about as socialist as Milnes.

My local LP has an average age of 95+. This old WWI vet turns to me at the last meeting and says, “You know who I’d vote for for president? T. Boone Pickens!”

His wife likes Obama, except for he’s Muslim.

Milnes is more mentally capable,he should take the Presidential spot.

How about Milnes/Orvetti? I know it’s your goal to be VP, and if you only had a sex change, you’d be Milnes’s dream running mate.

By: Peter Orvetti

Peter Orvetti — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 03:27:12 +0000

They’ll be down to a Keyes/Milnes ticket pretty soon.
