[Lnc-business] Austin Petersen to run for senate as a republican

[Starchild]

	I can't speak to Austin's motivations, but when we repeatedly nominate ex-Republicans for president, it does kind of signal to potential candidates that they need not worry about leaving the LP for the GOP since they can come to the LP from that party whenever they want without hurting their chances of being nominated by Libertarians.

Love & Liberty,
