Ross Rerot got 20% of the vote in 1992. What did that do for the Reform party? Jesse Ventura won the Governorship of Minnesota. What did that do for the Reform party? Nothing, because they, like the LP, had no farm team of credible candidates with experience in lower level elected office. What is the mission of the LP?

The Number One petitioner from the Illinois Libertarian Party drive is now on the ground in NH. Rest assured, this individual is about the best in the land. He will make damn sure Barr makes it. And that's a promise. BTW, Bob Barr WILL make the ballot in New Hampshire. The Number One petitioner from the Illinois Libertarian Party drive is now on the ground in NH.

Val said to you that he worried about a less than 1% showing for the LP candidate, and that such a candidate may bolt the Party after the race. Well, now, Barr is at 6% (!!). This is truly amazing. The very best Libertarian race of all time!! (Ed Clark's high in 1980 was less than 1 million votes - Barr's beating that now 6 times over.)

NH doesn't provide for substitution. We might have 2 Libertarians on the ballot, if Barr gets enough petitions.
