Actually, I am gathering signatures to run for the 14th Senate
District in Virginia this fall as the Libertarian Party candidate.

While I applaud your attempt at doing something worthwhile, I can't help but
think how futile your effort will be.

Being a third party in a two party system will at most mean you get to break
a tie in a few close issues.

You may be right, but I have chosen my target carefully.

The incumbent is an unopposed RINO who sides with the Democrat
governor consistently in opposition to the GOP House of Delegates.
Much of the GOP base is disaffected with him. However, the district is
so conservative, the Democrats don't even run a candidate.

That will allow me, as a Libertarian to run to the "right" of my
opponent on taxes, gun laws, government spending and other
conservative issues, while also running to his "left" on issues of
personal liberty and pick up the Democrat votes. (Note: the LP
position is not really left or right of anything, we are really
individual vs collective on everything, but right and left are
understood better.)

I will either squeeze him out from both sides, or **** off everybody,
which I am sure you know by now, doesn't much bother me.
