This is not a casual and youthful flirtation with a fringe third party. After all, as a former chairman of the party, Collison played an instrumental role in recruiting Ed Thompson to run for governor as a Libertarian, and co-chaired Thompson’s campaign. Many Republicans still blame Thompson for Gov. Scott McCallum’s loss to current Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle in 2002.You'll have to read the article for the drug legalization stuff.
So the next time you hear a Republican sarcastically say, "Thanks Ed" upon hearing of another Doyle scandal, you can cheerfully add, "and Bob!" Collison had no regrets, even promoting Thompson as a speaker nationwide to other state Libertarian chapters.
