On female VP candidates:

Tamara Millay lost the bid at the Atlanta convention to run for VP last cycle, but did not rule out another run in 2008 in a telephone conversation we had the other day.

“Oh yeah, Neil Smith the nominee of the Arizona LP instead of Browne in 2000. You are a tricky one, Austin!”

I don’t want Ron Paul to retire. He’s the one voice of reason in Congress.

But, when he DOES retire, I hope he makes another run for the Presidency. This time as a Republican. And, I hope he asks for the LP to endorse his candidacy, rather than nominating a candidate of their own for that year. This is the one situation in which I would hope the LP doesn’t run a Presidential candidate.

5) should be Art Olivier, Andre Marrou, Ron Paul (U.S. Congress), and Roger MacBride (Virginia state legislator). NewFederalist is right, though, if you only include those who were elected as Libertarians.

I’d be interested in how many, who, and for what party have been elected to Congressional seats as third party candidates since, say, 1960.

It would be interesting to find out how many people won an elected office as a member of one third party, and then won another elected office as a member of a different third party. I don’t know if it’s ever happened before.

NewFederalist:

1. Yes, except that the way it was worded… it was a little bit of a trick question. So there is, technically, one more name.

2-5. Yep.

I guess I should add Ron Paul under category 5 above since he was a U.S. Representative when he ran in 1988 and still is today. I didn’t list him originally since he was elected as a Republican but the question really didn’t qualify partisan versus non-partisan.
