Knapp describes it as a “forum featuring three candidates for chair of the Libertarian National Committee: Ernie Hancock, John Jay Myers and Wayne Allyn Root. Two other candidates, Mark Hinkle and George Phillies, weren’t able to be there.”
I wasn’t able to attend the Missouri convention, but last night at the St. Louis County LP’s monthly meeting I heard an interesting set of opinions about the chair debate tonight from people who did attend.
One attendee opined that (s)he couldn’t imagine any of the three candidates who debated running an actual meeting without it degenerating into a riot.
Another concurred with that opinion as it applied to Hancock and Root but thought that Myers might be able to pull it off.
Of course, there are two other candidates for chair (George Phillies and Mark Hinkle), both of whom can presumably competently chair meetings — I’ve seen George do so, and moreover do so as one candidate in a meeting of competing campaigns; Mark is a former chair of the LP’s largest state affiliate.
And of course there’s more to the position of national chair than presiding over LNC meetings.
But FWIW, that was the subject of the audience after-commentary that I was exposed to.

Jeez, what a male bitch …………..
Was there even three dozen people there?
None of the mud sticks on Wayne.
Maybe he’s the ‘Teflon Libertarian’?
The anti-gay BS about Wayne doesn’t stick either.
