I just got a phone call from Dan Jones polling operation (a very reputable survey firm here in Utah). They were primarily focusing on the upcoming elections and politics in general. I was surprised to hear that Super Dell Schanze was running for governor on the Libertarian ticket.For several years now (8 or 10 I think), I have been convinced that the Libertarian party is the "one true party." If a Libertarian candidate is on the roll, I vote for him or her, which usually means my vote doesn't count for much (but whose does?).
I don't know who is running the Libertarian party in Utah, but whomever it is must be on crack and should be fired for letting Super Dell on the 2008 ticket for Utah governor. We must be awful hard up for Libertarian candidates here in Utah if Dell Schanze is the best we can dredge out of the pool.
The Libertarians have a difficult enough time not coming across as kooks (much too much mis-information abounds), but now we've got Mr. Kooky himself leading the charge? This is a serious and significant setback for the party; obviously whomever approved him doesn't have even a slightest clue how stupid and misguided people think he is. In all likely-hood, this is a 10-20 year setback for the Libertarians in Utah!
Dell Schanze and I might have similar political points of view; I don't know, never met the guy. But, I do know that he has completely, totally and irrevocably ruined his reputation in the various stunts and dealings with the media. The media has made him look like an ass, exposed him for the clown that he his, and there is no way that he's going to do anything but harm to the overall objectives of the Libertarian party.
It doesn't matter if Schanze was "right" or "wrong." When it comes to politics, it's all about image and Super Dell has forever lost his in this state. What a bad bad move by the Libertarian leadership.
Prediction: Schanze will get only one vote this November... His own.

Ok Adams Daft, who are you going to vote for?? EXACTLY!!! ME!!! No matter how much crap you want to talk about totally false media stories I am the only hope you have as I am the only American on the ballot. I have tons of support as I helped hundreds of thousands of people with the businesses I owned and people know I did what I said I would and went out of my way to take care of them if any issue arrose. I am by far the best candidate and the only one of the ballot worth voting for. Even those that don't like me will still vote for me even if for the mere reason of NOT voting for the other guys. Your ridiculous story is what makes the party look stupid and ununified. The homos in the tootoos rejecting me at the convention are what make the party look stupid. I built the 4th largest system builder in the western US and won the World System Builder Award by over 30%. You should pull your head out and start supporting candidates on the issues and not attacking them because of your personal issues. I am your only hope and it doesn't matter if you like that or not. I'm it. Now quit being an idiot and attacking the only person that WILL stick up for your rights. Dumb Ass!!
