10With Podcast: Rich Whitney Wants To Be Your Governor (Pt 1)

By Karl Klockars in News on Oct 5, 2010 3:00PM

2010_10_05richwhitney.jpg We're in an election cycle where anti-incumbent fever is raging. Where outsiders could be poised for a Tea Party Power Grab. And in a state where the establishment candidates for Governor and Senator are engaged in a a Battle of Who Could Care Less, Rich Whitney is still here. After a 2006 election that left the Green Party with 10% of the (eff Blago) vote and making them an official party in the state of Illinois, we're still paying more attention to Scott Lee Cohen (I-Middle Finger). Why?

What does Whitney think about the Tea Party? Why are third party candidates still being barred from many debates and discussions? What role does the media play in this? We talk about all these things and more in the first part of our discussion with Rich Whitney, Green Party Candidate for Governor.
