Comments on: Angela Keaton, Day 2: LNC gang continues efforts to cloak operations in secrecy http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2008/09/angela-keaton-day-2-lnc-gang-continues-efforts-to-cloak-operations-in-secrecy/ Covering America's third parties and independent candidates since May 2008 Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:58:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Denver Delegate http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2008/09/angela-keaton-day-2-lnc-gang-continues-efforts-to-cloak-operations-in-secrecy/comment-page-1/#comment-11991 Denver Delegate Sun, 07 Sep 2008 21:27:30 +0000 http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/?p=1939#comment-11991 Regarding Libertarian branding and the Barr campaign, my perception is that Barr is mentioned as the Libertarian presidential nominee -- or he mentions it himself, and confidently so -- at the outset of almost every broadcast media interview I've seen him do. I agree with Verney's strategy to make the campaign more inclusive, and aim to attract independent voters. Aside from a promotion of policy preferences in a generally libertarian direction (see <a href="http://www.reason.com/blog/show/127409.html" rel="nofollow">J.D. Tuccille</a>) and potentially Naderizing McCain, future ballot access is a great goal for Barr's presidential campaign to have. And for what it's worth, the homepage of McCain's web site carries no reference to the Republican Party right now. Nor does the homepage on Obama's web site mention the Democratic Party.

How interesting that Mary Ruwart told Richard Winger she did know about the NH lawsuit – and he used that as a basis for saying LFV had it wrong, and LNC was properly informed – now in LNC meeting says she didn’t know about it until George Phillies told her, which is exactly what George told LFV.
