Typical Ann Coulter. Last year she had the bright idea to run as a candidate against the lefty demo and RINO. So she approached the Libertarian Party and demanded to be the LP candidate. They asked, "Well, Ann, do you believe in any of the LP positions?" "Hell no!", said Ann, "I just want the LP to do the footwork for my little campaign." "Well Ann", said the LP, "We're disinclined to run candidates who don't support the LP, it doesn't really make much sense, now does it?"

At which point Ann launched into her trademark rants against the LP, etc etc, you know her style. Same old same old.

Is this the same Libertarian Party that ran Howard Stern as a Gubernatorial candidate in New York?

No, that'd be the NY LP. I believe this LP was in Virginia or some such. State LP's are independent bodies. The national LP can disaffiliate them, but that just means they can't send delegates to national LP conventions.

At the time, the NY LP barely existed. All other state and the national LP looked on with disdain -- but not much to be done about their grab for the limelight.

In the Coulter incident, that state LP made the right call. Hats off to them.

Here in California the LP once ran a whore for Lieutenant Governor.
