Wow, I was surprised to hear that Gatewood Galbraith had died today. He just finished a vigorous run for Kentucky governor. He didn't win, but he got out there and got on the ballot and got about 10% of the vote. In many parts of the world, a 10% minority is a very powerful block. Less so in the U.S., where only the majority rules.

I loved Gatewood's independence and rebelliousness. He is voice that deserves some attention now that he is gone. All during the campaign, he stayed true to his beliefs, and never did let on that he was deathly ill. We will miss you Gatewood. Rest in Peace.
