Well done.
Thank you all for the kind words.
Good job. A/A+.
I found the first few minutes a bit heavy on the drug issue, as if it’s the only one NS is interested in. The conversation did broaden out as the interview unfolded.
I also didn’t get a here-to-there sense too much. I didn’t get a sense of how Ls will start to get elected to make change, other than the discussion about how some lopsided states are somewhat ripe for a different second party. I’d’ve liked to hear more on this matter.
Love the respectful way NS expressed himself overall.
That was excellent! Great work, Nick.
Definitely worth watching the whole thing.
The Rs and Ds are phone books and 411.
Anyone who can roll with an ignorant caller like “Felton” and strike such a ludicrous down with ease and patience is worth having around.
Worth watching — all the way to the end! This was a great opportunity, and our party’s chairman did an excellent job.
Via LNC list:
Great job Nick!

I absolutely agree.

I enthusiastically second Mark Axinn’s suggestion to check out Nicholas Sarwark’s appearance on C-SPAN this morning. Playing hooky from his role as the 2015 Libertarian Party of North Carolina Convention’s keynote speaker for an early-Sunday-morning sojourn into downtown Raleigh, Nick produced a grand-slam, out-of-the-ballpark home run! Great responses to some pointed questions from listeners; by far the best 40 minutes we have gotten on national TV in 2015…and arguably a lot longer than that.
The inspirational combination of Mr. Sarwark’s “Show Up, Be Nice, Win” address to the convention Saturday afternoon, the dynamic presentation of our Gala Banquet speaker, political analyst John N. Davis, “Strike While the Ire is Hot,” and the C-SPAN interview—we delayed reconvening the convention to watch the last 15 minutes live on the big screen in the meeting room—was palpable. Nearly everyone present upped his or her financial pledge, several folks who had not planned to do so were inspired to run for at-large seats on the LPNC executive committee, and one delegate spontaneously announced his decision to run for the NC General Assembly in 2016.
All-in-all a good convention. But wait ’til next year…at the 2016 LPNC Convention next April in Raleigh, we will be celebrating our 40th anniversary—the party was founded in 1976—and it promises to be a really big show!

This is great!
We need to start getting Nick on video more often. Obviously media interviews and speeches, but also just plain youtube vlogs, shorter segments taken from longer videos like this one, etc.
