I'm offended that you'd put me on any list with Tom Knapp, Bruce Cohen, or Carol Moore and I'm offended that you'd list Jesse Ventura as a possible Libertarian Party Presidential candidate.
I'm not interested in running for President....I may never be, but I'd never even consider it before 2032. I would love to see Mary Ruwart run for President, but none of the others you mentioned. Michael Badnarik is a good choice, but he's working on his congressional campaign and so am I. He stands a better chance than I do though. --- In [email protected], Eric Dondero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Libertarian Party 2008 Presidential Poll > > A small group of libertarian insiders are working to recruit a top-notch Libertarian Party Presidential candidate for the 2008 Election cycle.
