Many thanks to the Libertarian Party candidates, door-knockers, sign-posters, phone-callers, Facebook-sharers, forum-attenders and other supporters !!
This was our best year ever.
Check out the Tarrant County Elections website when time permits. Then head over to the Texas site. A staggering number of Republicans and Democrats voted "straight ticket". Even so, a lot of Dems and Independents selected our folks when there was a two-candidate race between the LP candidate and a Republican.
We had a respectable showing in many of the 3-party races.
If I'm disappointed in anything, it's Gary Johnson's total. Yes, he doubled the 2008 number, but I would've put money on a 3x performance.
But dang it, we didn't win anything.
There's always 2014.

I thought Romney had a chance of slowing things down on the national level while we work to elect LP on the local.
Can't say that I would change my vote if I had to do all over again.
I did vote mostly LP on the down ticket elections and will probably be more involved in the future.
I would like to talk to you or someone else about getting someone out to talk to our gun club -- might help increase visibility.
If you are interested and want details, email me.
