I should have specified, and I'll fix that. They favor putting it to a vote rather than having the city council vote on it. I should have specified, and I’ll fix that.

I was under the impression they were more libertarian oriented. COAST is the organization that is fighting the red light cameras in Cincinnati, and according to today's Dispatch, in Toledo.

I was under the impression they were more libertarian oriented. COAST is the organization that is fighting the red light cameras in Cincinnati, and according to today’s Dispatch, in Toledo.

No party had ballot access, until the LPO won it's lawsuit, which brought ballot access to the Greens, Socialists and Constitution Parties. Upon winning the LPO lawsuit, Tim Kettler immediately became a real Green candidate. Most of the state GP was unaware of Dennis Spisak's write in campaign. I urged him to include himself in the Secretary of State negotiations, which he did, and he also became a ballot qualified Green candidate. I would suspect that the Green Party and Libertarian Party are roughly the same size, with a slight edge to the Libertarians. Of course, we count "membership" in a different way. IMHO, the LPO is better organized. The LPO also has in it's favor a very energetic state chair who has a background in marketing.

It seems like they're running more candidates than the Ohio GP, which only ran two in 2008. How active is the Ohio LP?

There is a lot of information on alternatives that work. I can only hope that the LP in Ohio comes out in favor of opening the market to other providers.
