The question now is: Will Barr make the same mistake as Ron Paul and Kucinich. Their only chance of getting coverage from corporate media was to launch a road show together. Barr’s only hope of getting anything but filler is to organize a road show with McKinney and maybe whoever the populist guys nominate.

One runs a race to try to reach the voters, to try to tell them, for one thing, they don’t have to settle for a lesser of two evils; one runs to try to tell voters some forgotten truths, that individuals deserve and ought to be free.
Rocking the boat is a very American tradition, one more of us ought to indulge in.

Some candidates shared tokens to increase participation.

Bob Barr gave enough tokens to Mike Gravel to get him into the debate. Mary Ruwart gave her extras to Steve Kubby. Jim Burns (who didn’t get enough to participate) gave his tokens to Christine Smith, who qualified for the nomination speech Sunday by getting 30 tokens.

Today is the day to donate to the winning ticket to show support and make some noise. Please donate to the winner and send emails to all major networks demanding they cover the story of the Libertarian candidate

I find the token idea somewhat interesting. How did the LP come up with this idea?

Mike Gravel made a futile attempt to become the running mate of Sen. George McGovern at the 1972 Democratic national convention.

McGovern was a radical left-winger who lost 49 states to President Nixon.

Any word on how many “votes” the other candidates received? How many total Delegates does the LP have?

Gravel has always been a good speaker. Watch some of the videos from his Democratic primary campaign.
