V-P - Michael R. Pence (Rep), Tim Kaine (Dem), William Weld (Lib)
Why are we using two different pumpkins for the presidential race? Well, think about it. Some people are voting for the #1 person, while others are voting for the #2 person. We need to see which one will actually be the driver in the race. We add up the distances to determine the winner.
Are more people going to vote for the V-P than the Presidential candidate? Or, is it the other way around? Which one will actually carry the ballot?
US Senate - Richard Burr (Rep), Deborah K. Ross (Dem), Sean Haugh (Lib)
US House (District 10 only) - Patrick McHenry (Rep), Andy Millard (Dem)
This is the first time this event has ever included the Libertarian party. Why? Well, the candidates just never did much. This time, Johnson/Weld are on all 50 states' tickets. However, they haven't gotten their message out there, so we're not giving them as much weight as the others.
They haven't spent much money. They have very few offices and you can barely find a sign for them. So, we're not giving them the home field advantage. Chances are that the real race will be between the two regular parties - for this year. But, who really knows?
