“I think it’s possible to win this race if a few more Democrats and Republicans would come my way,”
said Jonathan Dine.

Dine acknowledges that it can be difficult for a third party candidate though he said, “Right now I feel Libertarians are more popular than ever. People are looking for an alternative to the current political
system.”

Programming Note: Republican Representative Todd Akin, candidate for U.S. Senate, will be a guest on “St. Louis on the Air” on Monday, October 22nd. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill has not yet confirmed a date.
