Ken Krawchuk says his numbers went up, not down. And I'm sure he thinks getting into the debates was a breakthrough for his campaign too.

Being included in the debates would be a huge victory for Libertarians. The presidential debates have a much bigger audience than governitorial debates.

It would be a breakthrough because we're not there now. When Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus, that may not have seemed like a big deal to people who had rode in the front of the bus regularly for years or who had seen African Americans ride in the front of the bus up north, but it was a very big deal to people previously not given that opportunity.

Congratulations, Tridge!

I spoke with you at some length about the chess server you were modifying on FICS without having any idea how famous you were. I assumed you were just a random codemonkey in a sea of samba coders. Hehe.

Anyway, you're a good guy with people skills to match your coding skills, which is a rare thing in programmers. I'm happy to see you won this award.
