Didn’t Imperato endorse Barr at the LP National convention?

Speaking of Imperato, he’s endorsed McCain.

It might be good for laughs to do a story on this:

Christopher Thrasher called to say that his split with Free and Equal was amicable and he hopes to work with them again in the future.

He said the Free and Equal debate would be rescheduled.

Well I’ve mailed in my ballot.

That part is done. One last candidate event, a school event, a couple visibility events and an election night party and I’m done.

“I really just want this to be over with. This election season has been so absurd.”

I couldn’t agree more.

The unbelievable arrogance of some of these campaigns.

Barr needed to get over the fact that Obama and McCain would never agree to debate with him. That was a total PIPE DREAM from the start. I go back to my original theory that someone is making these “mistakes” in that campaign on purpose.

Nader needs to get realistic too.

There is no reason that they would stand to lose from debating other third party candidates who will no doubt be splitting the votes of the dissatisfied voters this election season. Both Barr and Nader were completely foolish to believe they were ever going to get into the mainstream debates at this time.

I really just want this to be over with. This election season has been so absurd.

I agree.

But, they still have time to put something together.

This is beyond severely disappointing. I don’t know what factors were at work, but it seemed like the different campaigns could “suck it up” and get together for this event.

There should’ve been no pussyfooting, but it seems as though every candidate and campaign was smooshed by a waffle iron.

Pity. Not for them, for THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Not necessarily. Even when they’re uneffective at electing people, they still add an alternative voice and push for issues that the mainstream ignores.
