My Response:
I will not answer yes or no. I would support a nominee regardless of
their celebrity or lack of if they support liberty to the extent
that I do.

My Response:
My first choice would be Ron Paul. Only 2 others on that list would
be possible choices the others would not be choices at all for me. I
would possibly choice David Boaz and Walter Williams.

My Response:
I have met Mark Skousen and Gary Nolan and would support either one
of them. I might support Don Gorman but I would need to know more
about him as well as Ed Thompson. Judge Gray would be a strong
possibilty as someone I might support. The only other person on the
list I know of is Russo. Russo would have to convince me that I
should support him.

I would support Badnarik for certain and Dr. Ruwart. Carol Moore
might be a possibility as someone I would support but she would not
be my prefered choice. If she got the nomination I would probably
vote for her if I voted for anyone because I would vote for her
before I'd vote for either candidate of the two oldest parties.
Phillies would have to convince me to support him. Knapp might leave
the party again because he has done so before and that is one reason
why I would not support him. Cohen I am not sure of. Ireland
probably not and the other person from AK I have never heard of.

My Response:
I would consider voting for any candidate who supports liberty to
the degree I do. I doubt the Republicans would nominate a candidate
who does but if a miracle happens and they did I would consider
suporting that candidate.
