2012: Karger

Out of curiosity, why Karger?

He's pro-immigration reform and pro-LGBT and I don't like Obama (who, ftr, was not great on immigration). By the time the NC primaries rolled around in 2012, Karger would've withdrawn so I probably would have written in someone. This is because I didn't really like any of the other candidates who ran in 2012 except maybe Ron Paul. I think at least Paul is genuine but I have deep policy disagreements with him that would probably prevent support on my part.
