The Libertarians would kill the public funding if they were in power, but they are realists; it is there, and they need to get the message out. I hope my vote puts him over the…

Douglas Wilder, who backed Democrat Barack Obama for president in 2008, did not endorse Obama or Republican Mitt Romney in an opinion column released days before the election. “I have campaigned for and supported the president in the past and many people now want to discuss his job…
