But there's just no way to vote for anyone running under the Green Party banner. They are an unmitigated disaster that should never have any authority in this country and placing a vote is a tacit endorsement of their platform, I don't think I'd be able to do it.
I wonder if there are a lot of CPC voters who feel likewise, which would suggest to me that Turner might actually have won if he was running as an independent. Maybe there are good reasons I'm out to lunch, but what do people think about that? Would it have benefited him to not be associated with May et al.?

If Turner or Locke were running for the CPC it would be a runaway win.
