Another 3rd party congressional candidate.

Somehow I missed the recent news that Jeff Clark of Danville will be running against Rep. Tom Perriello in the general election. Like the high-larious Bradley Rees, Clark is too far right even for Fifth District Republicans, which is saying something, and isn’t bothering to try to get the nomination. As with Rees, I intend to donate to Clark, because this guy is just what Congressman Perriello needs to get reelected.

These are the fruits of an unformed, functionally brand-new Republican Party in this district. It’ll be years until they can get their act together. It’ll be interesting to see how many of these candidates stick around more than six months and help make that happen. My guess is that, at best, just one or two will.
