| Description | David Nolan came to Tucson a year ago to "ease into retirement," but he allowed for just one little diversion before kicking back with a good book.
He launched a Libertarian bid for one of the most hotly contested seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
It's a political pipe dream for Nolan to win the District 8 race, but his late entry isn't intended as a symbolic gesture by the man who created the nation's most successful and enduring third party.
"I think it's a very long shot that I can win, but I think we'll have something to say about the balance of power," said Nolan, 62. "We're going to become a factor to be reckoned with. We're looking at getting concessions from one or the other candidates to treat our issues with sincerity."
Those issues include withdrawing U.S. troops from an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq, reclaiming the rights Americans have lost to the USA Patriot Act and ending federal prosecution of "victimless" crimes, including the use of medical marijuana. |
