New exit poll question for "Libertarians":
What are you hoping to accomplish by taking away votes from the serious* candidate who most closely reflects your views?
serious* = has any chance of winning more than 15% of the vote.
Ruth Bennett ran to the left of the Democrat candidate. Ms. Bennett was demonstrating that Liberterians can take votes away from both sides equally. She ran specifically to get Rossi elected. The Seattle Times did an article on her and her campaign a couple of days ago. Go to www.seattletimes.com/politics for information. Ms. Bennett has actually ran for office before. In 2000, I believe she ran for Lt. Governor on the campaign promise to abolish the office. She got my vote that time around because the Republican was not going to win, I couldn't vote for Brad Owen, and I agreed that the position was unneeded and has a 400K annual budget. I know I could do a lot of $400K and we didn't need the office.
