[Lnc-business] why I like the LNC's goal of 1, 000 candidates in 2016

Tue Nov 11 13:06:25 EST 2014

Following up on an earlier discussion, a similar search for "Aaron 
Starr" shows 3 results, and none of the results are about the "Aaron 
Starr" that ran for the non-partisan race for City Council in Oxnard. 
They are for other people named "Aaron Starr."  I certainly appreciate 
the fact that Aaron Starr ran for non-partisan office. I've done that 
three times myself, placing second out of 5 the time I ran the hardest. 
And I realize it was not Aaron Starr's goal to build brand awareness for 
the Libertarian Party.

"Sean Haugh" still shows 1860 results on news.google.com.
Our top of the ticket partisan candidates did a lot to build Libertarian 
brand awareness.
I support the strategy of running for everything from top of the ticket 
races to tiny local races, partisan and non-partisan.
I hope Aaron Starr takes what he learned this time, and runs again for 
the same office next time.

The Reform Party and Constitution Party don't run many candidates. If we 
see them, or some other third party zooming past us in terms of 
identifiable results, then we should take a closer look at what they're 
doing (not that we'd necessarily want to copy them in any case--depends 
on what they're doing).
