Theres always a 3rd party candidate, NPR just neglects to talk about them. Seriously, in 2008 Ron Paul (then running as a Republican) was second in Nevada, NPR reported on the 1st and 3rd place finishers completely skipping him. So many people (including me) called them on it they had to release a lame excuse that they didn't do what they clearly had done. I lost a lot of respect for them that year. In 2008 Ralph Nader made a pretty good showing considering he ran as a 3rd party contender but mainstream media just skipped over him. -Curt From: Andrew Strasfogel <astrasfo...@gmail.com> To: Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com>; Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2015 5:11 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Ted Cruz?

I don't follow politics closely enough to know enough to make a meaningful comment but I have to say, I do not see anyone out there that I would bother to walk accross the street to vote for. What a god awful time in US politics.
