This year, polling is sometimes including third party candidates, mostly Libertarians. From the past few days, I note:
New Mexico — Bedonie — Governor — 5%
Michigan — Buzuma — Goveror — 1.6%
Arizona — Hess — Governor — 2.6%
— Victor — Governor 4.4%
Georgia — Oliver — Senate — 2.9%
— Hazel — Governor — 1.6%
South Carolina — Reeves — Governor — 2.4%
Agreed. Phillies, owner.
I’m starting to realize that there is an influx of Libertarian-focused stories. More varied coverage is shortly on the way!
My Author Link takes me to a blank page, any fixes to that coming?
Prediction, no Florida libertarian gets more than 60000 votes. Messaging is wrong, marketing strategy is wrong, and the Mises have made the party unpalatable. Looking forward to seeing a backlash and blowback.
