I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Lautenberg, si! I had an instinctively negative reaction to the Torricelli-Lautenberg substitution on the New Jersey ballot. The law seems pretty clearly set against it, but the New Jersey Supreme Court did rule unanimously in favor of the switch.
Richard Winger at Ballot Access News, moreover, makes a pretty good case defending the substitution. Consider the importance of court challenges to restrictive ballot access laws for independent candidates trying to get past the Democrats and Republicans who write these laws. He also notes that ANY court challenge to ballot access laws at all ever would likely be construed as "changing the rules in the middle of the game." He argues fairly persuasively in favor of erring on the side of maximizing voter choice.
Still, it seems highly unlikely that the Green or Libertarian parties would get near this much leeway.
