It is painfully obvious that the LP won't be in national debates, or be the center of national attention, or presented to the public by the media as an alternative choice to the republicrat party system currently in place. Peter Schiff had a good idea when he spoke at a LP convention a while back and said the LP should take over the Republican Party and use that platform to get their voice and message heard. That's a realistic approach to taking over the establishment machine.
@rgvhen That is already being attempted, and it's only working in a very limited fashion. You're forgetting the bad consequences of such an action: Republicans can take over the Libertarian name & rhetoric & use it to destroy libertarianism while pretending to promote it. That's what Ronald Reagan did, & it's what the 1990's Republican congress did. Now we have the Tea Parties pretending to be independent but are actually the tool of Dick Armey, a 1990's Republican, to get the GOP back in power.
Filled in my absentee ballot last week, and I was pleased to see Prof. Munger on the ballot. I think he may be among the few candidates I have voted for with a clear conscience.
Micheal way to go!! Thanks for being there for the people of NC and the US. Tell it like it is!! Keep up the good work. Many thanks from another North Carolinian who still believes in the American dream.
Get rid of the distracting soundtrack underneath

And this is why I am proud to call myself a libertarian.

Good speech. Glad I saw Michael at a recent town hall style meeting in RTP. Very impressive candidate with good, practical ideas.
