17. We need to examine him in preparation for that third-party bid
--uniformed voters are only going to see his anti-Iraq invasion creds and won't look into his voting recors, which is worse than abysmal for progressive issues.

He's a wacko Liberartarian who really isn't (regarding his votes on abortion rights, for instance), but I see him as you do, an agent provocateur. I also see him as a useful idiot for the Republicans--not only will he split off uninformed voters from the Democrats, buI can just see him getting shady RRRepublican money to run a la you-know-who if the Democrats become tooo successful in the polls.

He bears very close scrutiny, very close indeed.
