Getting this information up as it happened is not only another great job of providing necessary information, but another example of your impossible-to-overvalue worth to all of us.

NOW, THAT IS THE KIND OF SOLIDARITY I LIKE TO SEE BY ALL WHO WANT TO SLAY THE TWO-HEADED MONSTER! “Wow!

That didn't help him amongst liberals either, myself included. I actually support his position on legalizing pot though. Gravel also supported abolishing all income taxes in favor of a “fair” tax.

This isn't 1972, he couldn't nominate himself again. Anybody know who the write-in vote was from New Mexico? I thought I heard "William Colon", Greenpapers thought they heard William Cullen/Cohen, and we both heard something about being a secretary in either the LP or in the New Mexico LP. Also, congrats to Penn Jillette for winning 3 votes from PA. I'm sure fuller state-by-state results (ballots 2 through 6) can be figured out through either a) seeing the spreadsheet used at the convention b) going to the tapes and pausing frames when the screen showed the totals.

(He wasn't nominated for VP either.) He had no chance at the Democratic Party (mainly because he supported legalizing pot); he didn't earn any delegates at all there.
