Ben Percy, Thomas Meadows and Anthony Goshorn are all running for statewide office on the Green Party ticket in Arizona. All three are “street people.” And all three were recruited not by the Greens, but by a Republican operative. Huh? Republican operative–and state legislature candidate–Steve May convinced Percy, Meadows and Goshorn all to run. But not because he thought that by putting Green Party candidates on the ballot he might help siphon off votes from Democrats! No, no, no way. It’s just an effort to get more eccentrics involved, since there really aren’t enough crazy people currently participating in Arizona politics. (That is a “joke”! No one sane is currently holding elected office in Arizona.)
