The Libertarian Party will be lucky if it can get on the ballot in most states. They can’t win even if they could qualify on all 50 state ballots.

Its critically important that we prevent Hillary or Obama from becoming President. If they’re in they’ll appoint all liberal judges to the Supreme Court and prevent us from correcting Judicial Invention. No matter how difficult McCain is or becomees he is still 10,000 times better than Obama, Hillary or any Democrat.

We have to push for McCain to take a very conservative Vice President like Fred Thompson. Thompson’s desk was next to McCain’s on the Senate floor and they’ve been good friends since. Thompson can bring the conservatives back under the Republican banner. He assures us that constructionist will be chose on the Court. He has will be a largely stabilizing force on the liberal fancies of McCain.

McCain - Thompson 08 !

When I recently raised that ticket in a discussion, I was quickly told that the dems would paint it as the ‘too old’ choice. When I reminded them of the number of turning middle aged people back or still living with their parents for financial security, the notion of ‘too’ old became a non-issue! In fact, I think there is a way to portray McCain-Thompson as the best leadership in these very unstable times!

The Libertarian Party will be lucky if it can get on the ballot in most states.

They're already on 28 state ballots ('most', if by that you mean more than half). And, their history has shown they're likely to be on most, if not all, state ballots this year.

In 2004, the LP candidate was on 48 state ballots (missing out on New Hampshire and Oklahoma).

In 2000, Harry Browne was on 49 state ballots and DC's. (A different LP ticket was on Arizona's ballot.)

In 1996 and 1992, they made the ballot in all 50 states. See also the table from the Sep 9, 1996 issue of Ballot Access News.
