Iraq is nearly over. BTW we won.

1. I ran against a 20 year incumbant.

2. I ran against a black woman in a mainly black district where white people are 10% of the population.

3. I ran in a district where more than 80% of the voters are registered in the Democratic party.

4. I ran as a Libertarian which is like having an anchor tied around your waist and being tossed into the ocean.


I never thought I would win the election. I ran an information campaign. I gave the voters of my district someone better to vote for and got libertarian ideas out there. My attitude had nothing to do with my election results, and if it did, it worked in a positive way for me because I pulled down 8% of the vote (most Libertarians get about 1%) and I spent a total of about $1,600.

My attitude is the same as that of our founders...who were all libertarians.

Which is why you are a failure.

Ever wonder why that is? Could it possibly be that while the ideas and rhetoric sound and feel really great, they just won't survive long when they come in contact with reality? Outside the little club called libertarianism the rest of us have to say, "that sounds great. now let's try something that will actually work. you know, beyond the world of theory?"

Your other three reasons for losing may be relevant but they're just gravy. You lost because you can't convince enough people that you have the ability to apply your ideals to real life.
