I'm a bit frustrated with Rocky Anderson, since I think he could have done a lot more good teaming up with the Green Party, rather than splitting the leftist alternative vote with his useless Justice Party.

The Justice Party is also running congressional (both Senate and Congress), gubernatorial, and I think local legislature candidates in Utah as well, which could be interesting, though Torrin Nelson, my own Congressional district's Justice Party alternative to Jim Matheson/Mia Love, seems to just be a bog-standard Paulite with a sprinkling of other things (like being pro-environment and pro-tariff). I suppose the fact that he's a veteran that wants out of all current wars gives him enough credibility with Rocky Anderson though.

Anderson would have been a great Green Party nominee. Anderson/Sheehan would be a very good ticket for them.

I know, which makes it so frustrating that he decided to gallivant off and form his own party. There's no question that he's well-organized (his success with putting candidates of his less-than-a-year-old party on the ballot can attest to that), but he could've used that organizational skill to greatly expand the Green Party.
