It would be an honor to run with Kinky Friedman. I have seriously considered registering in Texas to vote for the man.

Wow, that's actually hard. It would break my heart to vote against a ticket with Kinky on it...but it would break my bank account if Hillary got elected. Honestly, if that election scenario was to become reality (presumming that Kinky would side with a virtual nobody) - I highly doubt Clinton would be able to compete meaning that I could vote for Kinky and not worry about spoilers.

Giuliani/Allen

Clinton is in the lead. Do you think she would win with this match-up? I think Rudy would still beat her. At least its good to see Wyatt getting so many votes, for an unknown candidate.

Rudy would beat Clinton quite soundly. In the polls Giuliani lead her by 5 points in and in California trails by only a few in California. You can rest assured that Rudy would sweep the midwest with the exception of Illinois (which would be abnormally close). He would pick up New Hamshire, Pennslyvania, and Conneticuit. Unless Hillary was to be some miracle gain A LOT of ground in the south (her worst polling spots) than she will flutter out. Think 1988 for a visual of the map.

Badnarik - although I would support an Allen/Rudy ticket, just not in the reverse.

I went with Chesney, but Daniel Imperato and Webster Brooks definitely deserve a look as well.

Something about Imperato just doesn't seem right to me. Why is it that he is always stiff in all of his webcasts? And why is that a multi-millonaire businessman can't latch a more well known VP. Something about him just seems to slick (other than his hair that is).

Could Wyatt act as a spoiler, or could he appeal evenly to both sides? In this poll it looks like he takes away from Rudy, but after speaking with him on the forum( http://www.reformparty.org/phpbb) hr said he knows alot of moderate democrats, who would consider votting for him if Hillary runs.

It really depends on how he balances his issues. I personally do not believe in the spoiler. If Nader hadn't run in 2000 polls show Bush winning by larger margins in Florida. In 2004, Bennet took more votes from Rossi than she did from Gergoire in the Washington governors race. Finally, in the 90s - many people like to blame Perot for Clinton be elected. Ross took evenly from both sides by balancing fiscal conservation as well as environmental conservation. If Chesney does the same (which it looks like he is) than his demographics like look similar to that of Perot's.

We could start with him not being a famous multi millionaire. I think Brooks has great potential as a vp, and would have been a great presidential candidate had he continued his campaign. He seems to have better campaign structure than Chesney and would probably be viewed as a more credible and qualified candidate. I do agree, though, his speeches need work.

I like Wyatt Chesney, but his campaign needs a lot of work. All we have is a  picture and a freewebs website. No news articles available online, no campaign photos, no campaign structure. And I'll be frank, it leaves one to wonder what the deal is with it, it's kind of sketchy.

Also, I think George Phillies is a decent candidate and probably the Libertarians' best shot to expand their voter base, even if he is a little "nerdy". I would consider voting for him.

I guess you just have to keep in mind that it's early. If Chesney's campaign is still this limp come late 2007 - then I would be concerned. I think everyone who is starting this early is trying to put a base together. I always wait until right before election year befire I start seriously critiquing candidates.

Also, have you see this Chesney site http://www.freewebs.com/ivotedcobb it at least has news articles on the guy.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have seen his site. I am very familiar with the campaign as a Reform Party message board poster. But it stands out that he hasn't been covered in any local press. Or rather, any press coverage that is available online. It's like he's not even there. On the other hand, Imperato has been very vocal in his campaign. I'll give you that he uses a lot of free PR sites, and they get the job done, but I have also seen articles about him in other Florida newspapers. At least he makes it obvious that he's there.

Also, I'll bring it up again. He has a freewebs website. He promised to get up a new website on a real domain and hasn't come through. And what's up with "ivotedcobb"? According to wikipedia, Wyatt Chesney voted for Nader. Who's running the website? There's a few people trying to get the word out, but they aren't getting much back IMO. It's a very empty campaign.

I disagree about waiting a year or whatever as well, if a candidate is going to declare their campaign and start running in 2006, they should be expected to be scrutinized in 2006.

I don't know what to tell you. I'm not a huge follower...I usually only follow third parties/independents if I really really like a candidate (Kinky Friedman) or if they have a legitiment chance of winning the election. I don't know a lot about Chesney outside of the fact that he is like a more libertarian Perot.

What is it with Hillary being in the lead? Maybe the demographics of this forum are fairly liberal, but I would still asume Guliani would win in a real election. It's great Wyatt has gotten so many votes for an unknown candidate. Maybe the campaign will really gain some monentum?

Despite their unpopular stances on immigration, i think next year could be the GPs year. on thenextprez.org Matt Gonzalez is pulling down (last I checked) 18% in the general election poll.

I am really hoping Gilchrist runs in 2008, but not sure if it would be with Peroutka. Peroutka quit the CP recently, but the guy who he quit because of also quit, so he may come back.

And I'm noticing a lot of new people posting on this thread. Welcome to the forum. (And if you have time, check out the fantasy politics boards (which are addicting.))

A few months ago the aver ideaology of the forum was discussed. Most felt it is social liberal and economically conservative, or libertarian.

I am not familiar with Wyatt's positions, but if he has a site, I will look them up. Again, Robert, Wyatt, and anyone else who is new, welcome to the forum.

Why is Wyatt doing so much better in the polls, than Imperato, if they are both virtually unknown?

Because he has an online following, where as Imperato doesn't. Go door to door and take a poll. Numbers for both candidates will be nonexistant.
