becoming more watered down is a load of sh**t. The thing we should do is keep these so-called "extreme" positions, but not campaign as if they were extreme. Harry Browne had the 2nd most LP vote after Clark, when he ran in '96. Thing is, he had opinions that may be as extreme as anyone else, but he doesn't come off sounding like it. I really don't see why we're more extreme than Al Gore, or George Bush, or John Kerry, or Ross Perot, or Bob Dole or....
Browne got 0.50% of the vote. Clarke, who got the highest percentage of any Libertarian candidate, received 1.03% of the vote.
...is this good, like, am I missing something? Getting "the 2nd most LP vote" is not exactly an achievement when what you got was 0.50% of the vote. Ross Perot got 18.91% of the vote, and he didn't even have a party behind him.
