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.
