Those of you following the race between Scott Murphy and the Republican carpetbagger in NY 20 will have heard, perhaps, that there was briefly a Libertarian in the race, my good friend Eric Sundwall. The Republican carpetbagger and his party's sock-puppet allies litigated and managed to knock Eric off the ballot, a task greatly aided by New York's anti-democratic (small "d") ballot access laws.
Eric Sundwall has now endorsed Scott Murphy, and in effect urges the Libertarian vote to support Scott and reward -- so to speak -- the Republican carpetbagger for his misdeeds.

A few choice quotes from Eric Sundwall:
Mr. Tedisco denies any involvement with the concerted effort by his supporters to knock me off the ballot. I don’t believe him. The ruthless effort by his supporters to knock me off the ballot without a word of protest by him proves his unfitness for any office let alone Congress in these critical times.
I will be voting for Scott Murphy on Tuesday. While we disagree on some important issues, I find him to be a man of honor, a good family man and successful businessman. Unlike Tedisco, he actually lives in the District. And, unlike Mr. Tedisco, I view Scott’s business success as a virtue, not a vice.
I urge my supporters and all those who believe in open and free elections to show their disgust at the tactics of the Republican political machine to win at all costs. Please join me in voting for Scott Murphy on Tuesday.
