I hope that Scott might come back to the LPI and help build it into a lasting party. He doesn't need to even run for office, he could focus his resources on building the party.

LPI at that time was very disfunctional and offered very little support. Ballot access in Illinois for a third party candidate is ridiculous! One has to get oveer 5 times the signature the major parties need to get. So befiore you ridicule those who switch understand the reasons why they switch! There were many reasons why Scott bolted.

I'd rather see a Libertarian win by himself than a "libertarian Republican", which I could care less about. I get annoyed when third party candidates give in and switch.

Use the Republican label to get votes and recognition... and hopefully elected. If I were to get elected with this strategy I would switch party affiliations immediately upon entering office to Libertarian. Yes, I know I wouldn't get re-elected. But it would be soo much fun!

I went to see Scott and his campaign one Saturday and I was impressed. Bludorn ran a good campaign, a campaign 90 percent of libertarians wish they could run.
