    Now if this book hit the best sellers list it would help the cause tremendously. You know many people would buy and read the book just because it’s a best seller. IMO if the general public knew the “hoops” we have to jump through to gain ballot access they would side with us against the terrible D/R laws…

    Yes, I figured that was almost certainly the case.

    It is possible Ross was being sardonic.

    He probably doesn’t matter then.

    Why would anybody care who LJ has or hasn’t heard of?
