10 Questions With Green NV Gubernatorial Candidate Craig Bergland

While virtually everyone, we hope, knows Republican Jim Gibbons and Democrat Dina Titus are running for the privilege of being Nevada's next governor, there are other names gracing the November ballot.

One in particular is the Green Party's lone candidate, Craig Bergland.

The 57-year-old Reno resident is making his second foray into politics after making a brief run for Reno mayor in 1998. A Green Party member since 2005, Bergland hopes to spread the party's message as well as espouse fiscal conservatism in his campaign.

Dullard Mush caught up with the candidate recently and conducted a lively email interview where, among other things, Bergland discussed why he's running, who he finds "creepy" and what voter he is targeting. (Hint: It's not who you think. Well, at least the targeting isn't who you think. "Creepy" you probably can.)

So without further ado, we present Part One of our interview with gubernatorial candidate Craig Bergland.

1) You joined the Green Party in 2005 and now are running for governor in 2006. What prompted you to throw your hat into the ring?

The world sucks and it's getting worse. I'm a new grandpa, and she deserves a nice planet to grow up on.
