[Lnc-business] 2016 Libertarian Presidential Campaign - a model for our Nominee?

[Scott L.]

This 2 page article shows how Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker won over the
crowd at the Iowa Freedom Summit last week.

Even if you are like me and you support NOTA for the 2016 Libertarian
Presidential Nomination, the article still makes for good reading.

 

 

Scott Walker obviously has very good street cred with conservatives for not
only talking the talk, but also walking the walk.

 

The article demonstrates how important it is to present political ideas not
only in a way that makes your base voters feel good about themselves, but
mainly in a way that gives your base voters hope that at least some
"low-information voters" will actually vote for you.

 

And for my fans who will read this e-mail on the LP web site:  I support
NOTA for 2016 because it is a much better use of Libertarian's time, talent,
and treasure in 2016 to pass as many vote tests as possible so that we end
up with 40 state ballot access in December 2016 instead of wasting time on a
Don Quixote Presidential campaign.   Far too many LP members pretend that
the Libertarian presidential campaign will increase the number of donors
that the Libertarian Party has, 

when in fact the main purpose of the Presidential campaign is to make LP
members feel good about themselves without having to actually increase the
number of donors to the Libertarian Party.
