Hm.\u00c2\u00a0 Going down this list… Gary Johnson was trying hard for that one percent.\u00c2\u00a0 He failed to hurdle that psychological mark.\u00c2\u00a0 He is now wavering on his two election commitment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s one way to look at Jill Stein’s results<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 Stein may have gotten just under 400,000 votes (0.3% of all votes), with her name on 85% of ballots, but that figure is actually over double those received by the Green Party presidential candidates in 2008, and over three times those received in the 2004 elections<\/em>.
\nYeah, but let’s face it.\u00c2\u00a0 She’s in the shadow of Ralph Nader’s results in those elections.\u00c2\u00a0 To be fair, had the Party wanted to sacrifice easy results for serious ideological trudging, they would have gone for Roseanne Barr…<\/p>\n

… And this is the interesting result. Roseanne Barr beat out Rocky Anderson.\u00c2\u00a0 Pretty badly.\u00c2\u00a0 Barr had only 18.5 percent potential seeing her on the ballot; Anderson 28.1 percen<\/a>t.\u00c2\u00a0 Dissecting these results — the difference between point oh five and point oh three percent of the vote against that backdrop — well, even as Barr was a bit of a joke, she had the power of a name brand “Peace and Freedom Party” behind her, and… Anderson’s Justice Party?\u00c2\u00a0 Interesting to see how it’s come together:
\nThe other result for the party<\/a>:
\nU.S. Senator for Utah \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Daniel Geery[15]<\/sup> 7,444 votes (0.81%)
\nDoes that make it worth more than the PandF Party, which needed a stunt candidate with Barr?\u00c2\u00a0 Who’s to say?<\/p>\n

Virgil Goode… practcial post election day concerns<\/a>:\u00c2\u00a0 On his agenda for the day: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Rest up and make sure all the signs are off the highways<\/em>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Okay… the other candidates out in that wikipedia “other” category, preliminary from Village Voice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Randall Terry, an anti-abortion activist, got 8,700 votes.<\/em>
\nRichard Duncan, an Ohio ex-postal worker who wants to avert nuclear attacks by terrorists, got 6,400 votes.<\/em>
\nTom Stevens, the “objectivist” party candidate and a historian, got 3,500 votes.<\/em>
\nStewart Alexander, the socialist party USA candidate, got 2,000 votes.<\/em>
\nPete Lindsay, an anti war activist, got 1,520 votes.<\/em>
\nMerlin Miller, who says ‘are you tired of the two-party system,’ got 1,475 votes.<\/em>
\nAnd then we come to Jeff Boss, our favorite candidate who believes the National Security Agency paid people off to allow the 9\/11 attacks to happen. He got 263 votes. Impressive<\/em>!<\/p>\n

I deleted the comment on (ugh) Hoefling, because they got his impact wrong by a mile… if wikipedia is to be believed.\u00c2\u00a0 So… I’ll have to find my results elsewhere, I suppose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
