I've dealt with Tony a fair amount through my work. I've found him to be extraordinarily committed, honest and ethical, especially for a politician. I've spoken to him a few times about educational issues, and I think he's as genuinely outraged at the BloomKlein mess as most of us. I'm glad to see him finally getting some press coverage. His race seemed somewhat quixotic from the start, but he could actually end up being a viable alternative to Thompson if he can garner enough coverage and get better known outside his home district.
Might you have been referring to the first candidate whose campaign slogan was "not insane"? That, for those of us of a certain age, was George Papoon, the Presidential candidate of National Surrealist Light People's Party, brainchild of the rather insane group "Firesign Theater" back in the '72 or '76 campaign, I believe. BTW, he lost.
I'm very sorry to hear that. He sounds eminently qualified. Perhaps that was what did him in.
