I asked if there were any libertarian candidates in the Senate race. AC says:

No, I don’t believe so. The announced candidates are:

Ed Choate
David Gatchell
Emory “Bo” Heyward
Gary Keplinger
Chris Lugo

Gary G. Davis (D)
Harold Ford, Jr. (D)
John Jay Hooker (D)
Charles E. Smith (D)
Al Strauss (D)

Ed Bryant (R)
Bob Corker (R)
Tate Harrison (R)
Van Hilleary (R)

I kinda dig this David Gatchell:

In August, 2005 I legally changed my middle name to “None Of The Above”. [View the court order]

The State Election Commission is refusing to place my complete name on the Governor and U.S. Senator ballots for the November, 2006 elections. They insist on listing me incorrectly as ‘David Gatchell’ instead of by my preferred full legal name David “None Of The Above” Gatchell.

This obstruction comes despite the fact that they have seen fit to OK the three-part names Carl “Twofeathers” Whitaker and Walt “Combat” Ward. (Among numerous others across the state.) And, to my knowledge, “Twofeathers” and “Combat” are not even legal names, but rather nicknames.

I’m taking the State to court in an effort to correct this. Their side will be argued by the Attorney General’s office.

Why am I being singled out?

Heh.
