the smaller parties have to jump through the hoops so that there aren't 20 candidates on the ballot. right or wrong, that's the way it is.
The Libertarian Party is the third largest party in America. It's bigger than all other third parties combined. I say if we have gathered enough signatures to be on the ballot more than once, hell even 3 times, we should be on the ballot all the time like the major parties. It costs a lot of money to gather that many signatures.

think it's dirty pool for the R's to schedule their convention so close to election day in the first place.....or was this a matter of National Security again? code tangerine, with just a hint of red around the edges.
I agree, and they should be penalized for it by not being included on the ballot in Illinois because they didn't meet the deadline everyone else was forced to adhere to.

So Jim are you down to broker this bet?
