The Savior Of The Libertarian Party

By Kleinheider Posted on November 5, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Looks like the country’s largest third party will have to wait a bit longer for their Messiah:

It looks like Barr — the real politician with all that experience and groovy gravitas that was supposed to put the Libertarian Party on the map — got about 480K votes, about 100K more than the unknown party insider Michael Badnarik got last time around, and about what Harry Browne did in 1996.

So, yeah, selling their souls to an ex-CIA homophobic drug warrior on an ego trip worked out real well.
