Could the Libertarians Spoil Alaska for the GOP? (Reason Magazine - Hit & Run)

dweigel@reason.com (David Weigel) — Thu, 15 May 2008 21:05:00 GMT

John McCain isn't the most popular Republican for Alaskans. On Super Tuesday he placed fourth in the state's caucus, behind Ron Paul. McCain's opposed to drilling in ANWR, a real political anomaly for a Republican in this state—even most state Democrats want to start the drills spinning. So I'm not surprised to see that a Research 2000 poll (conducted for Daily Kos ) shows McCain leading Barack Obama...

... he announced his run and got an unprecendented (for an LP candidate) flurry of coverage. Outright Libertarians, a gay rights group within in the party, quickly blasted him for his record on their issue. This is a signal of Barr's punching power at this point in the race: He engenders ire from his enemies like no one else running in the LP. William Hawkins accuses him of "turning against...

Bob Barr and the Libertarians. (View From The Porch)

Thu, 15 May 2008 14:32:00 GMT

What's kind of amusing is how many people who aren't going to vote for Col. Tighe because he's "not a real conservative" and they're sick of "choosing the lesser of two evils" are going to pull the lever for Bob "Daddy State" Barr because he's supposedly had some kind of Road-To-Damascus experience and weaseled his way into the Libertarian party. Of course, what makes this doubly ironic is that,...

James P. Pinkerton "has grown less libertarian, and more conservative in his old age" (for me, the opposite has been true as I approach middle age) but lists three "spur[s] to neo-libertarianism" and suggests "conservatives join libertarians in opposition to such foolishness" — Liberty's Last Dance .
