[...] This blog actually raised some early questions when the first financial reports showed that almost all of the money being raised was being spent to set up and office and a staff. It seemed like practically nothing was being set aside for future advertising or outreach purposes. [...]

a know this is a little off topic but Jay Fisher is trying to get on the ballot as a Libertarian in the 6th congressional district in Georgia. He has to get 15,000 signatures to do this. Since this law was put in place in the 1940’s no minor party candidate has got on the ballot in Georgia for an congressional race. Fisher could probably use some of the money Badnarik has raised to do this but I doubt he will be able to raise as much as Badnarik has

I’m excited to see how Badnarik does. It would be great to see him win, but I can’t say I’m optimistic after reading this. Let’s just hope he can raise more money. I’m sure he’ll pick up support once he starts campaigning harder.

Mr. Paul:

In the 2004 election for President, Michael Badnarik got more votes than Harry Browne did in 2000 with less money.

How would you describe getting more votes on less money as an embarassment?

Michael Badnarik campaigned his tail off in 2004 and represented the Libertarian Party proudly across the nation. Now he continues the fight for liberty in 2006 by running for Congress in Texas.

Badnarik is an embarassment to the Libertarian Party and the libertarian movement. His campaigns are axe-grinding ego-fests for himself and his staff.

I see yet another 1% showing in the General Election.

God forbid that Libertarians start running real campaigns.

Good to see a libertarian who can’t find a dollar he doesn’t know how to spend, I think they are called Republicans in the business.

I think someone needs to tell them that just because you spend your cash willy nilly, just like a Democrat or Republican, doesn’t mean you will win votes like a Democrat or Republican. Does a Libertarian really needs tens of thousands of dollars of consultants? The best third party campaigns are the ones with great candidates that explode out of the box in the last 2 or 3 weeks of a campaign with creative advertising. See Jesse Ventura for example.

I have contributed to Michael’s campaign and will again. He has a great opportunity to be elected to Congress and we have a great opportunity to help him do it.

It seems like they’re trying to get a jump on the competition…

It’s a risky game that may or may not pay off in the end… but Badnarik is still the best chance for a Libertarian in Congress this year.

I would think that for Badnarik to make a big impact in this race he will have to raise at least a half million dollars this year.
