Just an FYI for any interested readers that Vic Kaplan, the Libertarian candidate for Governor of New Jersey, has a comment in an earlier post about the New Jersey gubernatorial campaign. I’d asked the Kaplan campaign to comment, so I’m grateful for the response. I will likely vote for Benvanides, but the marginalization of both candidates is a good advertisement for John Davenport’s argument in The Democracy Amendments, which I highly recommend. I’m a sucker for any book that describes our nation as being in “a death spiral,” as John does.

Now all we need is for John to go out on tour with Lars von Trier and Kirsten Dunst, and I think we’re in business.
