Libertarian Kaplan, who got the nomination instead of me, should endorse the Progressive Libertarian Alliance Strategy. He should ask for GP endorsement. He should campaign for/with a Green where there is no Libertarian competitor on that ballot. The GP should in turn endorse Kaplan. failing all this, if there is a Draft RWM for Governor Write-In & a woman libertarian for Lt. Gov. Write-In comes forward, I would be inclined to give it a run.

I know they decided not to run a gubernatorial candidate (though I think they have someone running for an assembly seat), but supporting Daggett is a little strange, IMO. Still, I guess I should be happy, since that means that the only NJ gubernatorial candidate consistently offering politics to the Democrats is Greg Pason, who I support.

I was saddened that they weren't able to successfully complete their petition drive here in NC last year. With the surge of voting brought in by the Obama campaign, the threshold is much higher. I would have welcomed the opportunity to have more opportunities to vote against the Government Duopoly. Congratulations to the Greens on this reward for their hard work.

The GP decided to encourage Greens to support Chris Daggett, primarily for his environmental issues, while not making it an official endorsement. There isn’t.
