If he can’t or won’t run for President he ought to consider running for Governor or Congress or something else.

Two Ns in the email I just got from him in response to my query about whether or not he’s interested in running.

He says he’s not — and mentions the possibility that he might not be eligible due to having been born on an Air Force base in Spain, anyway.

I’m a little disappointed, but can’t say as I really blame him.

Regards,
Tom Knapp

Clicked through a couple of source articles in wikipedia, and so far they all use two Ns.

I broached the subject of running for office with him, and got a “we’ll see”. Early on, I think that’s a good sign.

As for the eligibility concerns, I commented on Tom’s blog that I just don’t see the major candidates or their lackeys in the press scrutinizing third party candidates on such technicalities.

Does anyone know who Glen(n) was backing in Denver? Hope it wasn’t Barr or Root.

He said that he was hesitant about doing that because doesn’t like politicians and doesn’t really want to become one.

There are plenty of opportunities to run for office without becoming a politician in the LP.

Minor correction: I think his name is spelled “Glenn Jacobs”.

Two Ns acording to wikipedia:

I asked Glenn about the possibility of him running for office. He said that he was hesitant about doing that because doesn’t like politicians and doesn’t really want to become one. If he would run for office it would be a major coup for the Libertarian Party/ Movement.

Andy, is this you with jacobs?

Yep, that’s me with him, and no, we are not related, at least to my knowledge (unless you want to say that everyone is related if you go back far enough).

Awesome to hear him talk about the non-aggression axiom! There have been rumors for years that he’ll retire from wrestling; who knows if it’s true.

Minor correction: I think his name is spelled “Glenn Jacobs”.

There’s a picture of Glenn and I floating around somewhere, too. He was seated as a WV delegate in Denver and is a member of the LPWV.

Puerto Ricans, for example, are not ‘naturally born’ citizens – they’re statutory citizens. And this is a U.S. territory!

Now that’s interesting. It’d be cool to run a PR candidate and bring some attention to this ridiculous facet of Empire.

I’ve already stated my position on the other thread, so I’m not sure why you want to re-argue it here, but it is that even if you are technically correct, it is still most likely a non-issue.
