I fully support L.P. candidates being allowed on the ballot - and I congratulate you on your victory Dale.

In spite of the fact that the L.P. candidate has no chance whatever of winning, and will just help the Marxist Senator Barack Obama.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Although it can be argued that more Libertarian voters will be potential Fascist Senator McCain voters rather than potential Marxist Senator Obama voters, there is something much more important than whether the country spends the next 4 years on the Marxist road to hell or the Fascist road to hell.

What could be more important than choosing Hitler over Stalin, or visa-versa, one might ask?

What is more important is advancing the party toward greater public acceptance, more media attention, and automatic ballot access.  This is what we have been working on for 30 years, and what we will continue to work toward, until we arrive (or the Campaign for Liberty manages to convince the Republican Party that small government is as good an idea in reality as it is in rhetoric -- one can always hope!).  It has been a long hard road, but Barr, despite what I consider to be some strategic errors, is polling higher than any Libertarian candidate in history, and *is* advancing us toward our goal.

Liberty will not be achieved in one election cycle.  But now, as we near our goal of being able to compete on a level playing field with the Republican and Democratic wings of the Big Government Party is not the time to surrender, it is the time to renew our committment to freedom.

Surrender is not an option.]]></description>

In spite of the fact that the L.P. candidate has no chance whatever of winning, and will just help the Marxist Senator Barack Obama.

Of course the cynical might say that I am influenced by the news (some weeks ago) that Senator Obama had agreed to pay the vote brokers in Philadelphia, so that even though Pennsylvania looks close in theory (only a two per cent lead for Senaot Obama), in practice he will most likely carry the place - whether an L.P. candidate is on the ballot or not.
