‘Delusions of â€œconversionâ€ such as this one (earth to those with their heads in the sand . . . Barr is a conservative, not a libertarian) abound.’

I love it how you passed over my sarcasm while using quotes yourself. Fail. =]

found, not fund

There is no evidence that John Babiarz ever fund out about the vote.

There is overwhelming evidence that the state convention that did the nominating explicitly rejected the proposal that the State Committee could substitute candidates. To substitute Sue Newell onto the nominating papers, a new state convention was required.

I will advise you all when I am served in the suit.

The vote in the NHLP committee was 3 votes to be a co-plaintiff, and 2 not to become a co-plaintiff, and John Babiarz never voted.

The purpose of this lawsuit is to get New Hampshire to recognize substitution. New Hampshire is one of only two states that has never agreed to presidential or vice-presidential substitution. The other is South Dakota. Without substitution, minor parties would be forced to choose their presidential candidates in the year before the election, which puts them at a serious tactical advantage. This lawsuit, it wins, will also likely stimulate the New Hampshire legislature to fix some of the other ballot access problems in that state.

Actually, it seems to me that the only time itâ€™s worth it running presidential candidates is when we have â€œrockstar convertsâ€ like Barr anyway.

Delusions of “conversion” such as this one (earth to those with their heads in the sand . . . Barr is a conservative, not a libertarian) abound.

When the LP does in fact get a “rockstar convert”, it will be an amazing LP presidential race however. This one . . . well its just a conservative Republican pretending to be a libertarian. So, Barr . . . rockstar-maybe; libertarian-not a chance!

Still, pretty hypocritical moves coming from a party of choice and freedom – including the freedom to disassociate state chapters from the national trainwreck.

Good thing the LP is dividing its most loyal supporters and wasting valuable time and money on an essentially meaningless presidential race…

At last report, the signature count for Barr/Root in NH has not yet been completed, so it unclear if they have enough signatures.

This lawsuit was filed even though Barr/Root may well already be on the ballot.

No wonder LNC electronic fundraising appears to have faded.

LPHQ and Bob Barr have made the LP the party of theft, and everyone who supports them and their actions are men and women of ZERO integrity.
