Mike Fisher, or why I turned my radio and TV off

Your buddy got some interesting press coverage a few weeks back. They seemed to pass him off as a novelty in this campaign. (I believe it was during a debate where all the candidates were present.) As a whole though, it does seem like he has a pretty good campaign going.

The problem with the whole Ventura election and subsequent downfall is this: In the minds of many, this will only solidify the notion that politics are best left to the 2 main parties. It'll come across to many as arrogance and defiance of a "good system"...self-fulfilling prophecy to some.

I have no problem with voting for a third-party candidate, if I see one that appeals to me. I haven't seen one yet, but I'm sure one will come sooner or later.
