Confession: I voted for Bill Weld many years ago.

[Atman]

The only Republican vote I have ever cast in my life. In all fairness, he was running against Crazy Silver in Massachusetts, so he really was the right choice for the state. I met him (and that righteous lardass Bill Bennett) when I served on the Springfield school board marketing committee. Bill Weld was sane, rational, not a crazy right winger. I have often wondered where he disappeared to after his failed Prez run. No he's back in the picture on the bullshit Libertarian slate.

It's sad. He should have just run as a Republican and brought some sanity back to that party. Libertarianism is a a crazy fantasy designed to run hippie communes, not nations of 320,000,000 people.

The scary thing is this -- who would Bill Weld and Gary Johnson pull more votes from?

Let's be clear, I'm still voting for the Democrat, no matter who that may be. I'm not advocating that anyone do anything in anyway to undermine a Democratic victory in November. Just sayin'...suddenly, Bill Weld is back in the news after more than twenty years absence. It could get interesting.

1. Third parties are spoilers. Now that Kim Jon Un has endorsed Trump

I don't think we should risk any vote that puts him closer to the White House.

Sadly, opinions may vary.

2. I totally agree.

Bill and Gary stand no chance in hell of being in the White House. The question is, from whom will they draw more votes?

I was just remarking on the fact that Weld has been incognito for ages, now he's back in the news every day. Spoiler? Yup. But for whom?

3. Weld was my only Republican vote as well for Gov

Zero regrets and from my lackluster memory of that period he worked quite well with the legislature and everyone accomplished a lot. Especially in comparison to the later Republicans we got.
