Here is a article on our Governor candidate in North Carolina. Michael Munger might be the best candidate the Libertarian party has running anywhere in the country.N.C. Libertarian runs for serious attention By Mark BinkerStaff Writer Tuesday, Jun. 17, 2008 3:00 am Should Munger be included in the debates? (Web) RALEIGH — Libertarian candidate for governor Michael Munger's name will be on the ballot alongside Democrat Bev Perdue and Republican Pat McCrory. So, the Duke political science professor reasons he should be alongside them at upcoming debates. But at least one upcoming debate will exclude him while other hosts are having to be reminded that North Carolina officially has three parties. "If I'm invited to the debate, and I do a bad job, voters are going to say 'I'm not interested,'" Munger said. "If I do a good job, if I raise some ideas, some issues that other people aren't talking about, I can make the political system more competitive, more transparent.......
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland (D) Goes Out Of His Way To Make Point He Would

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland “Just Says NO!” To An Offer Never Even Made By Senator Barry H. Obama To Be His Running Mate Governor Ted Strickland says he’d (Source: ABCNews‘ Political Radar “Blog”) NEVER run with Brarack H. Obama. The man is a bald-faced LIAR. Proof here: Sooner or later, these aged IDIOTS in suits will realize there is a “New Media” out there today; a media of the common man or woman where everybody who owns a camera phone is a “journalist”. Case in POINT: Just who IS that running on the beach with Senator Barack Obama? If you answered Ted Strickland, you get a GOLD STAR.

Former Governor Thompson Wins Government $11 Million Contract to Treat 9/11
2008-06-04 20:25:00
The Wall Street Journal reports that "Tommy Thompson's Firm Wins Contract to Treat Sept. 11 Workers". Tommy Thompson--a former Governor of Wisconsin--served as Secretary Health & Human Services under President Bush.It isn't all that suprising--or necessarily bad--to see a government contract arrive at the door-step of a firm that is now headed by someone that used to work for President Bush. However, in this case it is disappointing, beasuse--as The Wall Street Journal notes--"As HHS secretary, Tommy Thompson was criticized for not doing enough to help ground zero workers."I guess that has been the Bush Doctrine for awhile: keep doing what doesn't work; just package it as if you are doing something different.

New York Must Recognize Out-Of-State Same-Sex Marriages, Governor David Pat
2008-05-29 17:45:00
Gay couples who were legally wed in Massachusetts, California and Canada will be afforded same rights as 'any other legally performed union.'By Gil Kaufman Photo: Gabriel Bouys/AFP/Getty Images One day before California became the second state in the nation to legalize gay marriage, New York Governor David Paterson directed all state agencies to begin updating their regulations to recognize same-sex marriages that have been legally performed in Massachusetts, California, Canada and elsewhere. According to The New York Times, Paterson issued the directive on May 14, less than 24 hours before the Supreme Court of California struck down that state's ban on gay marriage. The new rule in New York, which came from the governor's legal counsel, David Nocenti, tells state agencies that gay couples married outside the state "should be afforded the same recognition as any other legally performed union." The revisions to the code could cover more than 1,300 regulations in New Yor...

The formerly flashy rap star has earned back his freedom after more than a decade.By Joseph Patel Slick Rick Photo: Def Jam Hip-hop pioneer Slick Rick was given a full pardon Friday (May 23) by New York Governor David Patterson, most likely ending a deportation threat that has hung over the rapper for 11 years. According to The New York Times, Governor Patterson delivered the pardon to prevent the MC from being deported to England, where he was born and lived until the age of 11. In 1991, Slick Rick (Ricky Walters) was convicted of attempted murder and weapons charges after he shot and injured his cousin and an acquaintance. Rick served five years and 12 days in prison before being paroled in 1997, but a law that threatens to deport immigrants convicted of aggravated felony or weapons charges had always loomed large. In 2002, Slick Rick was arrested aboard a docked Caribbean cruise ship — by the INS, who had been fighting for his deportation since 1995. He spent a y...
The Hottest Governor in the United States to Sue the Interior Department?Ov
2008-05-22 18:15:00
Gov. Sarah Palin, mother of five and the Governor of Alaska, says “The state of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species.” Ah, if we only have about forty-nine more governors like this hottie, er, governor: She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state’s northern and northwestern coasts. Palin argued that there is not enough evidence to support a listing. Polar bears are well-managed and their population has dramatically increased over 30 years as a result of conservation, she said. Climate models that predict continued loss of sea ice, the main habitat of polar bears, during summers are unreliable, said Palin, a Republican. Notice anything? They were sure to note, very clearly, that Palin was a Republican. Good for her. I think she might be a good choice for McCain’s Vice President. Maybe she could straighten out his glob...

A GTLâ„¢ “G.O.P. Insider” Update: Lousiana Governor Bobby Jinda
2008-05-22 09:29:00
Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) Is “Lady-In-Waiting” For Panamanian-Born U.S. Senator From Arizona, Señor John McCain, For Vice President Position I received an excited phone call at about 10 P.M., CST tonight. According to my “G.O.P. Insider” friend who happens to be a publically-elected Republican politician in the State of Louisiana; an adviser to Señor McCain; a former speech writer for Presidents Reagan and Bush; the ONLY reason Señor McCain has FAILED to name Lousiana Governor Bobby Jindal as his running mate is a “reason” who goes by the name of “Rush Limbaugh”. Apparently, Señor McCain does not wish to be associated with Rush or his famed draft-dodging, pontificating “Dittoheads”. Rush Limbaugh has been pushing and pushing for a McCain-Jindal ticket lately, according to my always-accurate “G.O.P. Insider”. I apologize; I do NOT listen much to Rush Limbaugh, but those of you who do will quickly call m...

Governor Getting Gangwon Into Gear
2008-05-15 07:03:00
For as long as anyone can remember, Gangwon Province has been a great place to visit. Millions of cars head east from Seoul every summer for the beaches and the mountains; millions more do the same in the winter for the skiing. Autumn isn?t bad either when Seorak Mountain comes into its own in a kaleidoscope of color. Throw in Chuncheon?s famous chicken dish and a strong shout of hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics and you have a region with a good deal going for it.The one thing that has been missing is football. Since the K-League was established in 1983, the competition has spread to include all the regions and the major cities of South Korea; even Jeju Island has a team. Gangwon has been left behind but that is all set to change. From 2009, the northeastern province, the only one split into two at the end of the Korean War in 1953, will provide the home of the K-League?s 15th team. ?Gangwon Province has traditionally been a province that loves football very much and we are establis...
