49. Libertarians
One point I missed was to call attention to the fact that they have effectively contributed to the dialogue for Republicans by showing themselves as "closer to "reasonable Republicans" but-" the way they or another third party might have for Dems.
The trick is to raise just enough party interest so that they can raise issues in debates without drawing too many votes.

Libertarians acknowledge there is no chance of winning and don't care. The only way we have gotten ourselves into a position of having the kind of tax system we have is by having a bunch of Libertarians running on local ballots screaming "no taxes ever!"

You seem to resent his run. It's a democracy. Do what you have to do. Kuccinich knows intolerant voters are out there. That just shows what kind of personal sacrifice he is making.
