I questioned the same thing … why in the world are there 16 candidates and why would they run, especially in this election? I was informed that if a party can obtain a certain percentage of votes, it “legitimizes” (I use this term very loosely here) them and makes them eligible for government funding for their campaigns.

So most of these “unknowns” are just hoping to get enough votes this time around to qualify for govt funding next time around? I’ll bet there are a couple in there who are just on expensive ego trips and harbor no illusions about ever being real contenders.

I am confused. I thought Obama was in the socialist party which was founded by George Bush in 2008. I’m thinking the rules in Colorado might be loose enough, that I’ll put my own name down next year. I have no faith in McCain or Obama. The problem is that 14 other choices are a bit much to sort through.

Hey, you might as well hop on board next time around. The more, the merrier. It appears that just about anyone who wants to can get on the ballot in Colorado. In the meantime, you can form your own party. Good luck.

Ms Pyde! ( This is how your name will have to be) – in Canada you get a pension from the government even if you haven’t paid a dime in!

Now that is socialism. – The Americans can’t do socialism!!!!!!!!
