MD: Examiner Profiles Minor Party Candidates

From Louis Ciotola at the Examiner:
Of the minor parties, the Libertarian Party of Maryland is by far fielding the most candidates for prominent state and federal offices, covering the governorship, lieutenant governorship, and representatives for the first three districts. The Constitution Party has thus far selected only a candidate for 3rd district while the Green Party remains limited to a candidate in the 4th district.
Besides the sole Green Party candidate, it is interesting to note that all of the other minor party candidates for Maryland’s higher state and federal offices are positioned well to the right on the political spectrum. Even the independently running candidate in the 1st district, Jack Wilson, is, according to his website, a Tea Party activist.
