Tiffany Briscoe No Longer Running / Texas Primary

Tiffany Briscoe is no longer running a presidential campaign, instead focusing all of her efforts on the USA Parliament project, run by her former running mate James Ogle.  The only two libertarian candidates in the race are now Gary Johnson and the Boston Tea Party's Jim Duensing.  Duensing is a Ron Paul supporter and will not be running if Ron Paul somehow becomes the GOP nominee or decides to run independent.  Texas is the last state that has Democratic challengers to Obama in the primary.  They are John Wolfe Jr., Bob Ely, and Darcy G. Richardson.  Richardson is no longer campaigning.  Despite John Wolfe's anti-war leanings and progressive healthcare policies, he opposes marriage rights for same sex couples.  Bob Ely is a self-proclaimed jerk who proposes to tax like a Democrat and spend like a Republican.  Despite opposing the current occupation, he believes that the initial invasion of Afghanistan was justified.  He proposes cutting the military budget, but uses harsh hawkish rhetoric when speaking about the United States military might and his desire to preserve it.  There are also some socialists running in local elections in Texas, some of them may be on the Green Party ballot line, others may not.
