I fully support that. What I was trying to say is that people often look at party labels instead of the candidate. Vote for the candidate not the party. “Then how about taking the Democrat and Republican labels off of the ballot as well?”

It seems like people base it more on name recognition than anything else. State legislative races are probably the easiest to win, atleast in California.

Also they should vote for a candidate not a party. The bottom line is that the responsibility lies with the voters. His name is on the ballot and that is what matters." Then how about taking the Democrat and Republican labels off of the ballot as well? It is not fair to allow Democrats and Republicans to have their party labels next to their candidates' names on the ballot, but then make it unreasonably difficult for all of the other parties out there to do this. “Well actually if the members of the Constitution Party did research they could find out their party’s nominee.

It is pretty easy to qualify for the ballot in Tennessee as an independent, but it is very difficult to qualify for the ballot there under the banner of a political party which is not currently ballot qualified (the only ballot qualified parties in Tennessee are Democrat and Republican). The Constitution Party, the Green Party, and the Libertarian Party all have a law suit against the state to make ballot access for those seeking spots on the ballot with minor party labels next to their name more reasonable. This case has been dragging on and on in court for a long time. Hopefully a decision in favor of the minor parties will happen soon. “Because of difficult ballot access laws for minor parties, Brown will be listed on the ballot as an independent.”

There are no other third party and independent candidates seeking public office in Tom McClintock's district in 2010 and our review of his PR in 2008 and 2006 is uninspiring.
