May 25th, 2008

Ruwart: 229
Barr: 223
Root: 165
NOTA: 6

Root will be dropped from the next ballot. Even though there are only two candidates left, they must get a majority of delegate votes to be nominated. “None of the above” and write-ins are included in the total.

Root just endorsed Barr and said he hopes to be the VP candidate.

    And Root endorses Barr, and talks of spending 8 years as VP, and then running in 2012..

    This is an absolute disaster in the making. The LP has just thrown in with the right-wing anti-gay wingnuts, and I’ve just conveniently misplaced my membership renewal form.

    well if that’s the way it has to be for Barr to get in, I like it.

    Hmm, I don’t think that John McCain is very happy about this result…
