Presidential Debates, Godwin’s Law, and Bloggers Blamed

April 04, 2008 @ 03:04 pm by Steven Garrett

In Libertarian news, the 2008 Libertarian Party Presidential Debate will be broadcast live from Heartland Libertarian Convention in Kansas City on Saturday, April 5. You can hear it on KCXL or Blog Talk Radio.

The debate will feature George Phillies; Wayne Allyn Root; Christine Smith; Michael Jingozian; Dr. Mary J. Ruwart; and Mike Gravel. It will start at 10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time, so it will be at 8 a.m. Saturday morning Pacific Standard Time (For those of us on the West Coast!).

Also, a 30-minute recap of the debate is scheduled! I urge all those interested or curious about third-party politics to listen in for my party's candidates.

In other news, it seems the Right Wing's spokeswoman, the 'beloved' Ann Coulter, made headlines this week when she compared Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father", to "Mein Kampf".

She does make some interesting points, but this is, by far, not the first time a candidate has been Godwin-ed in the news. Does this mean we can stop paying attention to Ann Coulter now, as she'll have noting more of value to say? Lord, I really hope so.

video where Christine Smith was interviewed. It’s a good video, and it also goes into what the Libertarian party is really all about.

The big news over the weekend was Mitt Romney bowing out, thus leaving the GOP nomination up to Ron Paul and John McCain. 

You know, this puts me in a serious dilemma. Do I remain with one candidate, or switch to another?
