I hope to see more moves like this. What happened to the Libertarian minded Republican party that Barry Goldwater championed? I think if he were still around today, he would also have moved over to the Reform Party... It’s good to see individuals that are guided by principles, rather than blind party allegaince.

Republican Party leadership is generally unsupportive of challenges to incumbent Republicans. Running as a Reform Party candidate (if he survives possible legal challenges to his candidacy) he might take enough support away from Musgrave (and Paccione) to make it an interesting race. Musgrave has moderated her stands recently after realizing she was vulnerable to being defeated (weak re-election results). A Green Party challenger got 4.17% in 2004, even after telling voters to vote for the Democrat challenger if they thought it was going to be close. Colorado's 4th district, roughly the rural eastern third of Colorado, fairly strongly leans Republican. Population centers include Ft. Collins (Colorado State University), Greeley (University of Northern Colorado), Loveland, and Longmont. I noticed his endorsement by Tom Sutherland, nationally known former hostage, as well as a former Republican congressman from this district. Those endorsements should carry some weight. I live only 15 miles from this district. I nearly forced a mandatory statewide recount by my candidacy in 2004 for University of Colorado Regent as a Libertarian (I got 4.25%). My fellow Libertarian candidate for regent http://www.liberty1st.us/ in the 4th district got 28% with some effort in a two-way race against a Republican incumbent. First known (by me) newspaper article (Saturday) on his Reform Party candidacy:

Others and I commented on his possible candidacy problems because of his recent affiliation (twelve months required?) with the Reform Party at:
