Your eyes are too big for your stomach. Threads like this are why the LIbertarian Party has never put a member in Congress. They've been too busy focusing on the Presidency to realize that local elections matter more.

Of course we have to run ppl for all offices but having a central figure like a Ron Paul helps to focus our intent and get the word out nationally. Never for a second should we cease supporting local ppl.

/agree.

The JBS has been preaching in the desert for a long time now that we should disregard the presidential dog and pny show and focus on Congress.

The most likely to win of those mentioned so far is Johnson. Governors have a huge advantage over everyone else but a VP and all VPs alive are bad. Ventura was also a governor but he would only run as a 3rd party so less people would vote for him.

Napolitano would be my pick for a SC judge if we ever got a good president in office.

I am starting to get excited about 2012! We could have 2 shots at the Presidency, Johnson in the GOP primary and Ventura in the general election should Johnson not make it out of the primary. I like Ventura a lot, but I would have to go HARD for Gary Johnson to be nominated, because anyone with a major party behind them has a 50% chance of victory going in. Even if Johnson doesn't get the nomination, hopefully his campaign will have spread a message of sound money and constitutionalism so that our even LARGER GOP base will know to jump to Ventura(who will already have a lot of centrist/leftist support.) I don't see how we can't make MAJOR waves in the 2012 presidential race.

Johnson for sure. He is libertarian and conservative enough with a moderate enough demeanor to be viable. He would not be considered "fringe". He is a good age, he speaks well, he has some name recognition, hes sincere, he can inspire passion, he is not a party insider by any means, he has an awesome record, he seems to have a clean past. Ideal if you ask me.
We will email bomb him next election and he will run. :)
