Election 2013: others receiving votes
The Alabama Special Election. Just read this q and a from the Guardian.
The Establishment Republican won. After tapping down the “Establishment versus Tea Party” angle. Bradley Byrne beat Dean Young by 52 to 48, and you can spot the difference between someone who spots Obama as being born in Hawaii and one who sputters before offering “Kenya”.
New Jersey Gubernatorial Election results.
K Kaplan  .6 percent
S Welzer   .4 percent
D Sare        .2 percent
W Araujo .2 percent
H Schroeder . 1 percent
J Boss          . 1 percent
Roughly. And the rounding is a little weird. I’m mildly disappointed to see that the “NSA Did 911” candidate came in last. But maybe people just didn’t like his name, and gravitated toward the multi-syllabic “Arujo”.
New York City mayor election results.

E Salgado       Socialist                              .2 percent
M Sanchez  Libertarian                 .2 percent
D Fein Socialist Workers              .1 percent
R Credico Tax Wall Street             .1 percent
M Greys    Freedom                       .1 percent
C Person   Reform Party
J Melaragno Affordable Tomorrow
S Sloan War Veterans
McMillan, of course, gained some fame with his “Rent is too Damned High”, and while this is past his 15 minutes of fame it does account for his relatively good performance. Oh, mercy. I pay some mild attention to the returns for Randy Credico. I am sort of bummed he didn’t do better — he lost out to the Socialist Workers candidate, for Pete’s sake! But, for what it’s worth, this is a defeat — of sorts — for his champion of Webster Tarpley.
Northern Colorado mostly votes not to secede and form a 51th state. Question: to avoid animosity from Democrats through the nation (just 2 new Republican senators for Elizabeth Cheney to consider primarying), why not go join Wyoming instead? Oh, wait. That would destroy the rectangular state. Damneditall!
Your final note from the Virginia Gubernatorial race. Ron Paul stumping, to get the last Libertarian Party votes into the Republican column, and… well, it’s almost at Secession.
