A Different Kind of Campaign
Topic: Miscellaneous 6:29 pm EDT, Jun  4, 2003

] For those of you who are tired of Washington-based career
] politicians raising millions of dollars from special
] interests, ignoring their day jobs representing their
] consitutuents while they fly around the country to
] fundraisers, debates, and photo-ops, consider the story
] of Michael Badnarik (http://www.badnarik.org):
]
]
] He's running for President because his friends asked him
] to, because they consider him an excellent communicator,
] an expert on the US Constitution, and an honorable man.
] With limited funding, he is driving across the country
] with a buddy, staying with campaign supporters and eating
] $5 meals. To survive, he teaches day-long classes on the
] US Constitution for $50 to anyone who is interested.
]
]
] Coming from nowhere (sorry, Austin, Texas), he is
] currently in a two-man race with a much better funded
] opponent, talk radio host Gary Nolan
] (http://www.garynolan.com) for the Libertarian Party
] nomination in 2004.
]
]
] Does he expect to win? Is he qualified to be President,
] if he does win? Maybe not, but he should make supporters
] of the Republican and Democratic parties wonder why they
] settle for the uninspiring candidates they are offered
] year after year, who appear to neither understand nor
] respect the Constitution they are expected to protect,
] uphold, and defend, if they are elected.

I would laugh until I passed out if this guy won the next election. Maybe he's qualified, maybe he's not - but regardless, it's the kind of campaign I'd love to see make it.
