Sorry, Mike, but "most free" outweighs "safest" and "most prosperous."

I may have to reconsider voting for Ferguson.

Libertarian candidate says he's voting for Republican Blunt

BELTON, Mo. - The Libertarian candidate for lieutenant governor says he plans to vote for Republican Matt Blunt for governor rather than his party's nominee.

"Elections are supposed to be about selecting the best person for the job, not about raw partisanship. Matt Blunt is simply the best person for this job in this election," Mike Ferguson said in a statement, in which he encouraged others to vote for Blunt as well.

The Libertarian Party's nominee for governor is John Swenson. Ferguson said Swenson is not active in the state Libertarian Party and does not represent its views.

Swenson has no listed phone number, and the party had no contact information, so he could not be reached for comment.

Ferguson said the differences between his philosophy and Blunt's are outweighed by the fact that both "want to make Missouri the safest, most prosperous state in America."
