He has run twice previously; in 2008 he ran for one of Georgia's United States Senate seats as a member of the Libertarian Party. He was the party's candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia in 2006, where he drew 3.6% of the vote, and for Senator in 2004, where he took 2% of the vote.

Buckley attended Kent State University, earning his bachelor's degree and then graduating in 1985 from the University of Georgia with his JD. In 1989, he earned his LLM in taxation from the University of Florida. Buckley is now an attorney and a CPA in Smyrna, Georgia, with a specialty in tax law and employee benefits.

Prior to the election, Buckley captured around 4% to 8% in polling within the margin or difference between the main party candidates.

Buckley has launched two television ads in support of his campaign, calling the Iraq War a "fraud." In August, Chambliss invited Buckley and the Democratic candidates to participate in debates. Buckley polled 8% after appearing in the debates in September, with most of his support coming from Democrats. He has appeared in six debates.

In August, Atlanta-based radio host Neal Boortz said he might vote for Buckley over Chambliss for Chambliss's participation in the "Gang of Ten" energy compromise. Buckley and Boortz argued opposite sides in a Fair Tax debate on CNN, and they had previously debated on Boortz's radio show.
