I might swing by on my way up to Tally tomorrow. Oddly enough, one of my best friends is at a comic book/anime convention in the same hotel. I've stayed there before, it's a nice place. Not extremely pricy but it's no dump.

I'm going to the same event, but it's actually at the VERY LARGE Convention Center not really attached to the hotel, 90,000 people in total scheduled to go.

But back to the LNC....I will laugh if we get an Atlasian as the leader of the 3rd largest party.

Gary Johnson will most likely win the nod, the question is whether or not Weld wins VP

I'm still pretty confident that Governor Weld will be the Veep.

Looks like Weld may have a fight on his hands after all.

This party is a joke if they don't nominate Weld

You mean the guy who ACTIVELY fought against many libertarian principles and couldn't make a sincere pledge to the party?

I hope Sharpe or Dearn is the VP, the party doesn't need another Republican-lite on the ticket.

Based off of the nomination speeches, I'm guessing that Weld, Grayson, and Sharpe will probably all do pretty well, with Dearn possibly doing alright due to her endorsement from Petersen and Coley probably doing the worst.

Dearn will do a LOT better than Grayson...

Weld's chances would rest on the entire Pro-Johnson moderate faction voting for him, otherwise the more hardcore faction will oust him easily.

Johnson's pitch for Weld is strong enough to sway enough delegates to win it, but the entire thing reeks of desperation.

Because he knows the delegates really don't want Weld.

Johnson seems to be fighting against people who demand that the party remain irrelevant

The delegates don't want the party to become Republican-lite

For those who don't know: Perry's folks want the party to remain irrevelant, Petersen's folks believe a "real libertarian" can win the white house.

Even though Petersen is a conservative lol.

No, he's not. He's trying to use his national prestige to advance the LP.

He won't and hopefully the Anti-Weld forces unite around Sharpe to kick this guy to the curb. He brings nothing to the ticket except make the LP look like the GOP-lite.
