Libertarian Vote May Cost Allard his Senate Seat
Political Wire reports today that Third Party Candidates May Tip Balance In Senate. The Strickland/Allard race in Colorado is one that could be affected. The Wire quotes the Wall Street Journal as reporting:
"The development is most notable in Colorado and Missouri." In Colorado, Rick Stanley is running as a Libertarian and "pulling crucial votes away from incumbent Sen. Wayne Allard, a Republican." In Missouri, Daniel Romano is running as a Green and "is vying for liberal votes with Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan." Recent polls "show the races in both states are very tight, so the ebb and flow of a few thousand votes could be pivotal -- with national implications, since Democrats are defending a one-seat majority in the Senate and contests in five states are too close to call."
