It would be an interesting development if regional parties gained greater prominence. However, currently I don't think they matter at all, and while Scott may be laying the seeds for such developments in future elections, this election won't really be about regional parties. If Scott does well it'll be because people like him as a person. People are going to vote for the candidate they like, regardless of party. I think Fremont is a region where the candidate matters a lot more than the party. Fremont just isn't a very partisan region.
Regional parties don't really mean too much to me when there's only a handful of players at the state wide level, and when most zombie voters don't give a sh**t about. I do agree that Fremont does not exactly appear partisan but then again the left is fractured in a weird way in my region, as 3 PUP members either did not run again or in your case, imploded and lost
and the Alliance has had a few things go its way recently, and well I've stuck with an indy label for a while now. Also worth noting the Feds have a much higher celling than some think around here IMO.
