As was pointed out by some Quinn supporters, he never really got into this race. A strong 3rd party option still helps a weaker candidate win. The history of third party proves this. I liked Quinn's position on issues. But, he was DOA in this state's political climate. I realize where this state is headed and it's not pretty.
Shawn Quinn was better organized this time than he was four years ago. What puzzles me is that the last time he got MUCH less exposure yet was still able to get 1.5% of the vote. This time he was better organized, attended more events and wound up with less than half the votes he got before! Call me paranoid or suspicious, but something doesn't quite add up!
