Well isn't there legitimate leaders of the Libertarian party to say so one way or another?

Yep, he is in this race for one reason only, and that is to siphon off some votes from the GOP so that he can help the RAT win. If you investigate this guy, I bet you would find a few millionaire democrats (Soros, Bloomburg, etc) donating to his campaign.

Can a Clinton crime machine member win any election without someone splitting the vote?
Calling it now-Hillary will win because a third party will split the GOP vote.

The best plan the Dems could implement to win elections is to fund libertarian candidates in 3-way races. They’re going to figure this out sooner or later, especially if “hope and change” stops putting butts in the seats.

While Im closer to Sarviss viewpoint than Cuccinellis on marriage, marijuana, and I am sure other policy issues as well, there have been a number of concerning red flags about Sarviss positions. Notice that he admits that Sarvis is lefty/libertarian on many issues, like the homosexual agenda, but that Sarvis isn't conservative enough on economic issues.
Libertarians=liberals who want conservative economics, which is an oxy-moron of course, you can't have economic conservatism without social conservatism.

He’s really not a libertarian. That’s why Ron Paul has endorsed Ken.

This gus is such a worthless SOB. He’s practicing Alynski: Don’t debate your opponenst. Destroy him. Ignore this lightweight. He has nothing to offer but noise.

Well isn't there legitimate leaders of the Libertarian party to say so one way or another?The LP was founded in Denver at the Muddy Waters café. I have been to LP meetings there. Finding a leader in the LP is like finding a leader in the tea party - such does not exist.
I found the complete lack of authority figures refreshing. Every person wanting to speak is allowed to. The only organization is that used to get somebody on the ballot in every race.
The feller in this article would have been out of place at a Denver LP meeting so he probably is a plant.

Sarvis is on record that he wants to tax carbon emissions, but still squawks about his “limited government” platform.
During last night’s debate, McAuliffe noted that he and Sarvis share many of the same views, and contrasted them with the “radical” views of Cuccinelli. That convinced me that Sarvis is just a stalking horse.

If you investigate this guy, I bet you would find a few millionaire democrats (Soros, Bloomburg, etc) donating to his campaign. Based on the campaign finance numbers, that seems unlikely.
Anybody have a link to the Chuck Todd comment mentioned in the story? I seem to recall that Sarvis wants to eliminate income taxes in favor of sales taxes and/or user fees, so I'd be interested in seeing the clip about not wanting to reduce taxes.

Sarvis has probably received the bulk of his donations indirectly from McAulife. This will be the new RAT strategy going forward. In a tight race? Hire a 3rd party candidate to siphon off votes from the GOP candidate.

This is not a new tactic by any stretch. Remember a guy named Ross Perot? And who did we get as president? Bill Clinton.

He may have his flaws as a libertarian in some ways, but the author does point out that he is a good libertarian as far as being a social liberal.
