Del. Sam Rasoul’s bill to reduce the percentage of the statewide vote for a political party to avoid petitioning failed in the Virginia House of Delegates Elections Subcommitee on a voice vote. One delegate, Luke Torian (D) of Prince William County, did move to report the bill favorably (I sent him a email thanks) but […]

“Over the past decade [blogger’s note: about 1990-2000], roughly 35 percent of state legislative seats in the nation were uncontested in the general election.” p. 1 *** “The democratic system operates with an implicit expectation that elections will offer voters a choice between or among candidates, and by extension, between or among policy positions. Uncontested […]

#BlackLivesMatter, Cuba, and Marijuana have created further divisions between the Libertarian wing and the rest of the Republican Party. The media has picked up on and promoted the Cuba debate between Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, while propagating countless articles asking the question, “Is Rand Paul a ‘civil rights leader’”? The racial issue seems […]

While Mitch McConnell and the Republican Establishment may have succeeded in crushing the TEA Party, dragging Republicans voters further left and winning on a vacant and ambiguous platform, the Libertarian Party has simply crushed itself with its own detachment from the human experience of average Americans. Barely averaging 3% of the vote in local and […]

Libertarian candidates have always been an interesting fly in the Republican ointment. Most Republicans truly believe that a Libertarian candidate always drains votes from Republicans. Therefore, Republicans often spend (waste) money attacking Libertarians and trying to convince them to drop out so the Republican can win. The only problem is, Libertarians take as many votes […]

I have some pretty strong Libertarian leaning principles that I try to live by. I am decidedly Conservative but understanding what the founders intended for this country to be can’t help but bring out the Libertarian in anyone. And it also shows how far off course we have gone. In so many areas we have […]

Two hours ago, around noon (est), the Washington Post published its’ latest poll on how the American People feel about the direction of our nation, and who we trust the most with our highest priorities. It seems to me that the Washington Post, along with conservative talk radio, blogs, and probably everyone else in American […]

I saw that Cong. Dingell is retiring after 29 terms in Congress (That’s 58 + years for those who are counting!) Eisenhower was the President; Sam Rayburn was the Speaker of the House! Sam Rayburn! I saw that Congressman Dingell said he did not want to be carried out and that it was time to […]

I just saw the summary of the Conservative Intel poll on the Virginia governor’s race (thanks to Hot Air for this news, too) and it is good news for the Libertarian: He’s still drawing ten percent (and about the same amount are undecided) and the analysis says two things – this first about the numbers: […]

First, since I am pretty sure Robert Sarvis, who Lord willing, I will hear again speak on Tuesday to the Crusade for Voters, since I am pretty sure Sarvis reads this blog, let me say: Happy Birthday to Robert who is at that disgusting age of 37! (I was 37 seventeen years ago!) If you […]

It’s not too often when RedState gives a Libertarian good news but they did. Here is the story from the email box of the man himself, Erick Erickson (actually written by Neil Stevens)! Stevens’s concern is that Democrats are overpolled compared to the population. He’s probably right. I have tremendous respect for what RedState does. […]

There are a lot of good races for the libertarian/constitutionalist in 2014. But this is 2013! What can I do for the cause of liberty with say fifty bucks! Let me say first, the local constitutionalist running this year with a solid chance to either win or influence the debate is the best bang for […]

I was there tonight to finally see Libertarian candidate for Governor Robert Sarvis speak – at the King William TP meeting at the KW Government Center. Sarvis is impressive. He actually has a bit of charisma; is very smart and knows why he wants to be governor. He mentioned a law – the Certificate of […]

It is not often that the candidate who does not debate is touted favorably in a post debate editorial but that is what happened in the Richmond Times-Dispatch today.

In our continuing coverage of the Libertarians in Virginia, we have a third poll: Quinnipiac College in Connecticut. Great college, Quinnipiac but terrible poll.
