This was when he ran as a libertarian in 88, I think got some 400k votes.

WOW.. THANK YOU so much! Your FACTS have lifted a huge burden I've been wrongly carrying for several years.

For some time now, I had convinced myself that Paul ran for President as a Libertarian in 84, against Reagan. As a friend of the Paul family (well, acquaintance really), and a strong supporter of Limited "Constitutional" Government, I worked in his campaign and gave him my vote. I remember, that at the time, I knew I was throwing my vote away...but, I was pretty convinced that my vote wasn't needed for the Republicans....and, I was somewhat angry with them.

I've been carrying guilt at not voting for Reagan at both opportunities... but, clearly, I DID! Now.. the timing make more sense to me... I was mad about the 86 tax hike.. and, I never cared for Bush the first that much anyway....

Anyway.. thanks for helping get my memory straight, and my conscience clear! :-)
