Mike MungerThe Libertarian Party plans to post challengers in some legislative races.

The party has collected more than 95,000 signatures and is in the process of certifying them with local elections officials and the State Board of Election, according to would-be gubernatorial candidate Mike Munger.

In an e-mail to Dome, the Duke University political science professor said that once the party plans to field candidates in "quite a few" of the 56 races with no competition.

"We'd (the Libertarians) love to be able to have a primary, but the state denied our right to do that when they used their discretion to decertify us after the 2004 election," he wrote.

He also said that Dome's failure to mention the possibility of Libertarian candidates "chilipunked" him. We have no earthly idea what that verb means.

Punkd is punkd. Pwnd.

Chilipunkd is "chilly punked."

Punkd in a particularly cold / brutal fashion.

chilipunk'd is what Munger will do to the clownish and corrupt Dem and Rep gubernatorial candidates. He'll punk them so bad, they'll never be able to eat chili again. Mike Munger invented chili by throwing a cow through a window screen.

I happen to know that Munger was NOT an only child. The "starved for attention" part comes from being constantly

CHILIPUNK'D!

by members of the news media.

Chilipunk is just a stronger form of "to punk," or to p'own.

Munger must have teenage sons. That's my prediction.

It isn't a hopeless challenge if it gives voters another choice other than the Republicrats

Was Munger an only child? He comes across as someone starved for attention. What does he really hope to accomplish by staging these hopeless challenges?
