What do you guys think about Austin Petersen? My first choice for the libertarian nomination is McAfee, yet being in 3rd place at the moment there is a good chance he won't be the nominee. Gary Johnson simply seems to "luke-warm" to me, especially with his comments regarding cake baking ect.
While Petersen has some flaws I think he is a pretty decent candidate. He has a pretty good stance on economic principles and in general foreign policy. You can have a look at his platform here.

There are a few downsides in my opinion, that being experience and presentation. He really has no solid business/political past, which sends up a few red flags for me. Also he can sometimes be a bit denigrating in tone to potential supporters and other individuals. I've seen some pretty bad attitude on his Facebook page. Sometimes his campaign doesn't seem very serious. While we all love them, are "dank memes" really what you want the face of your campaign to look like?
I also don't really agree with his stance on the NSA, his "penny plan," and a few other things.
Prehaps creating an evaluation of this candidate should be considered?
What are your thoughts?
