Positions include mayoral, city council and judgeship positions, among others Washington, D.C. – In an exciting conclusion to the 2007 off-year election, Libertarian Party candidates won an impressive 17 percent of all known races in the United States that included the Libertarian Party. Additionally, all Libertarian incumbents won re-election. The Libertarian National Committee counted 81 known races for the Nov. 6, 2007 elections and had 14 victories spread across seven states.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2007 (KGO) - Tuesday's election in San Francisco may set a record for low voter turnout. The number of registered voters has fallen nine-percent since the last mayoral election four years ago. City election officials also credit better record keeping which allowed them to remove people from the voter rolls who moved away, went to prison or died. The three major office holders up for re-election are expected to win by wide margins -- that includes Mayor Gavin Newsom. The other candidates trying to unseat the mayor are admittedly long shots, but all believe they have something to say. There are 12 mayoral candidates on the San Francisco ballot. Seven of them ...

Federal Court to be Asked to Delay Primaries On October 2nd we posted an article in which we announced that the Clean Election Lawsuit was being expanded to all fifty states. We said we were in the process of filing an amended complaint to name all of the nation’s chief election officials as defendants. We also announced that we were looking for up to three volunteers from each state to become plaintiffs and/or friends of the lawsuit. The response was very strong. We thank each and every one of the 610 people who responded to this call for action. Plaintiffs from every state brought the suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York and maintain that ...

Colbert Drops Presidential Bid His announcement came after the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted last week to keep the host of "The Colbert Report" off the state's primary ballot. The vote was 13-3. "Although I lost by the slimmest margin in presidential election history _ only 10 votes _ I have chosen not to put the country through another agonizing Supreme Court battle," Colbert said Monday in a statement. "It is time for this nation to heal."

Climate Is a Risky Issue for Democrats Candidates Back Costly Proposals By Juliet Eilperin Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, November 6, 2007; Page A01 All of the leading Democratic contenders for the presidency are committed to a set of cuts in greenhouse gas emissions that would change the way Americans light their homes, fuel their automobiles and do their jobs, costing billions of dollars in the short term but potentially, the candidates say, saving even more in the decades to follow. Former senator John Edwards (N.C.), who from the outset has made global warming one of the three pillars of his campaign, explains his ambitious plan to Democratic primary voters in terms of ...

"A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan" Some members of the GOP's largest voting bloc, like Florida preacher Bill Keller, think a Mormon in the White House would mean more souls going to hell. By Michael Scherer Nov. 06, 2007 | From the back room of a dilapidated used-car dealership, the televangelist Bill Keller has spent the past eight years battling to save the souls of men. In addition to his daily television broadcast in central Florida, his Web site, LivePrayer.com, has an e-mail list of about 2.4 million, and every day he says he receives some 40,000 electronic messages from people seeking the healing power of prayer to help their finances, health or relationships. ...

Gov. Ernie Fletcher plans to put the Ten Commandments and other historical documents in the Capitol on the day before Kentucky's general election. The action comes on the heels of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Joseph M. Hood that a previous injunction in a separate court case doesn't apply to the display Fletcher wants placed in the Capitol Rotunda. Fletcher attorney David Fleenor said the governor would issue an executive order Monday directing that the Ten Commandments be displayed alongside other historical documents including the Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact and the Declaration of Independence. Voters will choose Tuesday between the incumbent Republican and his Democratic ...

Came across this link at Drudge Report: Paul Raises More Than $3.5M in One Day Nov 5 09:55 PM US/Eastern By JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, aided by an extraordinary outpouring of Internet support Monday, hauled in more than $3.5 million in 20 hours. Paul, the Texas congressman with a Libertarian tilt and an out-of-Iraq pitch, entered heady fundraising territory with a surge of Web-based giving tied to the commemoration of Guy Fawkes Day. Fawkes was a British mercenary who failed in his attempt to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605. He also was the model for the protagonist in the movie "V for Vendetta." Paul ...

I excerpted this from the opening page of Ron Paul's website where there is a blurb about South Carolina. It just struck me as something really awesome that a candidate would do--unscripted, and no doubt has made someone else 'see the light'. "Our South Carolina Field Director, Jose Correa, who has done an incredible job, introduced Dr. Paul who spoke for several minutes before relaxing around the office, signing autographs and even cold calling a supporter's friend to tell him to join the revolution.This action really struck me based on my own personal experience of running for office and the peoples' responses.The house district I was seeking to represent was 120 ...
Not White Enough

DIGG THIS Some African-Americans have raised the question about Barack Obama, "Is he black enough?" The young senator's problem is that he is not white enough for a lot of Americans who I think are not ready to accept a man of color as president. This is sad. If Obama got the nomination, I would gladly vote for him rather than any of those no-good Republicans. I may be wrong, and I hope I am, but white racism has been driven underground. Few white people today will voice even a legitimate criticism of an African-American lest they lose their job or get crucified by the press and be branded as a racist. But just because people keep silent or even maintain a façade of ...

Republican presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) spoke to CNN's Soledad O'Brian about his presidential run and his libertarian beliefs, emphasizing his view that US foreign policy is drastically amiss. Paul has garnered more attention in the media than his poll numbers would reflect due to his Internet supremacy and surprising ability to raise campaign cash. The candidate explained that in a Paul presidency, "[The military] would be more traditional, it would be following the advice of the founding fathers, it would following the advice of President Bush when he ran in the year 2000, that we shouldn't be involved in nation building, we shouldn't be policing the ...

The presidential campaign of Barack Obama hasn't been as successful as many analysts once projected. Comedian Bill Maher thinks that the Illinois senator's emphasis on bridging American's partisan divide hasn't taken hold among people furious with the actions of the current administration. "I don't want to bring people together. I want to win!" he exclaimed on his show Real Time with Bill Maher. "I don't want to work with these people. They can't be worked with. I want to crush them. I want to smash them into a fine powder and snort them!" Influential blogger Markos Moulitas of DailyKos also expressed discontent with Republicans, citing ...

Thompson Adviser Has Criminal Past By Matthew Mosk Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, November 4, 2007; A01 Republican presidential candidate Fred D. Thompson has been crisscrossing the country since early this summer on a private jet lent to him by a businessman and close adviser who has a criminal record for drug dealing. Thompson selected the businessman, Philip Martin, to raise seed money for his White House bid. Martin is one of four campaign co-chairmen and the head of a group called the "first day founders." Campaign aides jokingly began to refer to Martin, who has been friends with Thompson since the early 1990s, as the head of "Thompson's Airforce." ...

Well, among other things, it seems Rudy's a bit of a fibber. Says one thing one, then denies it a few hours later, apparently not familiar with the concept of audio and video recordings. Check it out ... And here we also get a view of Rudy's comic egomania. Whatever else you think about Joe Biden, he's been in the Senate for going on forty years and is a longtime chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Rudy says Biden doesn't have any foreign policy experience; he's got nothing that compares to Rudy's foreign policy experience as mayor. Mayor? You can't make this stuff up. Can Rudy fly too?

COLUMBIA, S.C. - South Carolina Democrats squashed Stephen Colbert's fanciful White House bid on Thursday Colbert, who poses as a conservative talk-show host on the Comedy Central cable network, filed to get on the ballot as a Democratic candidate in his native South Carolina. His campaign paid a $2,500 filing fee just before the noon deadline, said state Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler. However, after about 40 minutes of discussion by top party officials, the executive council voted 13-3 to keep the host of "The Colbert Report" off the ballot. "He's really trying to use South Carolina Democrats as suckers so he can further a comedy routine," said ...
Executive Journal Pulls Issue Targeting Mishawaka's Mayor

They called it their biggest story of the year, but now a controversial Executive Journal article that targeted Mishawaka's mayor is being boxed up and shipped back. The headline called Mayor Jeff Rea "the man who sold out Mishawaka." But now, even though the company says more than 10,000 copies of the issue have already been printed, the Executive Journal's publisher says no one will ever get to read why, because of what he calls "discrepancies" in the article. In dozens of time slots, on nearly every local channel, television advertisements have aired asking a simple question: "Did Jeff Rea sell out Mishawaka?" The claim? That Mayor Rea sold ...

It sometimes seems as if someone is playing a cruel practical joke on Ron Paul. He goes to a college and delivers the same speech he's given for the past 30 years of his political career, the one espousing the Austrian school of economics. Only now the audience is packed with hundreds of kids in RON PAUL REVOLUTION T-shirts who go nuts - giving standing ovations when he drones on about getting rid of the Federal Reserve and returning to the gold standard. After a speech at Iowa State last month, when nearly half the crowd had to stand because there were only 400 seats, a hipster-looking student worked his way through the half-hour-long line to shake Paul's hand. This was surely it - ...

Fast forward to Election Day 2008: Network anchors, cable pundits, and state and local election officials are going nuts as evening hours pass and voter turnout is hardly approaching 20 percent nearly everywhere. “What’s going on?” everyone is asking incredulously. TV and computer screens all over the planet show Americans in streets celebrating and shouting things like “We’ve had enough political corruption. We’re not going to take anymore!” In contrast, news anchors are grim and aghast with little help from spin-fatigued and stammering Democratic and Republican spokespeople. At 2 A.M. on NBC Brian Williams sits with Tim Russett and Keith Olbermann, and ...

Democratic Rivals Rap Clinton in Debate By NEDRA PICKLER – 34 minutes ago PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's chief Democratic rivals, concerned about her growing lead in the polls, criticized her candor, consistency and judgment Tuesday in a televised debate more pointed than earlier presidential forums. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama began immediately, saying Clinton has changed her positions on the North American Free Trade Agreement, torture policies and the Iraq war. Leadership, he said, does not mean "changing positions whenever it's politically convenient." Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina was even sharper at times, saying Clinton ...

Huckabee stirs up third-party fear

A bitter fight is taking place behind the scenes over Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee. Influential conservatives are clashing over whether Mr. Huckabee is capable of keeping evangelicals from fleeing the GOP to form a third party or if he's too liberal fiscally for the Republican electorate. The battle is bubbling into the public arena, fueled by fears that a three-way race could hand the presidency to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton or another Democrat, and by murmurs of Mr. Huckabee as a vice-presidential candidate on the party's ticket. "We called him a pro-life, pro-gun liberal, when I was in the state legislature and he was governor," said Randy ...

Giuliani Resembles Bush on Terror War WASHINGTON — Rudy Giuliani, to quote a Democratic rival, would be like President Bush on steroids in the way he would go about protecting the U.S. from terrorists. In reality, Giuliani doesn't seem very different from Bush on the issue. The former New York mayor says the government shouldn't be shy about eavesdropping on citizens. He is prepared to use military force to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons and root out terrorists in Pakistan. And he opposes a U.S. pullout from Iraq. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh, a Giuliani friend and adviser on homeland security issues, said in an interview: "I would say they're very much ...
