In 2000, Libertarian Harry Browne was on 50 state ballots and received all of 384,431 votes nationally, or 0.36% of the vote. This was the second time that Browne ran for President as a Libertarian. In 1996, Browne received a total of 485,798 votes or 0.50%.

At best, Michael Badnarik is a Harry Browne without the charisma!

So the writer thinks that Michael Badnarik will get receive more votes than Harry Browne??? I really doubt it!

I don't know. I've voted straight libertarian for quite some time now, and I avidly follow the Libertarian Party, and I think Badnarik is running a better campaign than Browne did.

Badnarik is a realist, and he knows that he won't win the Presidency, and he has focused his campaign in "battleground" states in which the population is massed in a small number of areas. New Mexico is a a great example; 85% of New Mexico's population is in three cities, and the libertarians can run tv ads in those cities and, perhaps, swing the outcome of the Presidential election.

Only time will tell as to how he does nationally, but I think he's running a fairly clever campaign.

Most moral-liberals will be pulling the Democratic lever, but it's good to see these humanist moral-liberal ideologues have alternative Libertarian and Socialist Worker's levers to pull.
