Assembly Special Election Poll

[tpfkaw]

Are the libertarians really so ideologically stubborn as to vote for Jerseyrules over either of the qualified candidates?

Hmm, Jerseyrules as opposed to you?  You were never particularly active in the Assembly, and after being elected Governor without running a real campaign,* you proceeded to spend more time trying to recall an active assemblyman (yes, me) than doing your constitutionally-required duties, such as opening voting booths for tied bills which you signed (two governors later, this still has not been done).  Furthermore, you quit in the middle of your gubernatorial term.  Jerseyrules, like him or hate him, is at least active.  By any objective, non-ideological measure, Jerseyrules is clearly more qualified.  I don't like to be negative, but you can't just fling around personal insults like that, especially when you're living in a very brittle glass house.  As for Earl, he's been elected to the Assembly twice, IIRC, during my tenure, and failed to even swear in both times.

*As long as we're discussing "partisanship."

The bill in question is the Second Northeast Tax Reform Act of 2011, for which he had 21 days to open a voting booth: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=142860.msg3149977#msg3149977

In any case, he says he quit because of school.  First of all, whatever it was it clearly wasn't too time-consuming, since he didn't leave the forum, and second of all that's an obstacle which is completely predictable, as opposed to something like medical problems, a death in the family etc.  You can't claim to be "more qualified" in an insulting manner if your record is one of inactivity followed by quitting, and you have no excuse for inactivity if you can find the time to try to recall active assemblymen but can't find the time to do your required duties as governor (open voting booths, present a budget, sign bills, etc.).
