      I think she'll concede that at least some of these positions aren't exactly minarchist, but overall the ticket is better than either mainstream alternative.

      I'm not sure myself what #5 has to do with Libertarianism.

          I've also heard that he has the charisma of a dead fish, but some Libertarians think of that as a virtue.

            Understandable after 8 years of "Captain Cool." A lot of folks are looking for someone who can actually accomplish things (although whether Johnson could is debatable) rather than merely look good doing nothing. Not long after I first moved to Georgia there was an election for the Democrat nomination to be governor between the flamboyant Lt. Governor and former Governor Lester Maddox and George Busbee who was about as charismatic as a wash cloth. Busby campaigned under the slogan "a workhorse, not a showhorse." Busbee smoked Maddox 60 to 40%.

              I consider myself firmly a libertarian (with a small 'l'), but it's for some of these reasons that I'm really starting to think I simply won't vote at all, in November. I haven't decided yet.

                Being he's roughly 6' tall he must have swilled a barrel of Ent-draught.

                  I still think Jill is cuter'n Hillary, and smarter than the boys.

                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
