LP Gets Another Shot at CD-10
The Libertarian Party of Texas has fielded a challenger in the 10th Congressional District (incumbent: Mike McCaul, R-Austin), the same district that 2004 LP presidential nominee Michael Badnarik aimed for last year.
Badnarik’s campaign raised more than $400,000 and finished with 4% of the vote. For now, there are no public polling projections for what Matt Finkel has in store for CD-10.

Better luck.

For a mere 55k consulting fee we would be glad to share our final report on what went wrong with the Badnarik campaign.

Matt proved to be an industrious and hard working candidate in his 2006 race for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2. He ended up with 34.5% of the vote in a two way race which was the highest vote percentage of any Texas Libertarian candidate in a partisan race for that year. I wish him well in 2008.

RockHoward,
LibertyCongress.org (your url) looks to be the coolest site of it’s kind.

He’ll raise less than a tenth of the money, and do just as well, if not better, than Badnarik.

He should purposely raise $0 and see if he does better than Badnariik.

He will probably get about what Badnarick did, however, if he really campaigns which Badnarik didn’t – I live in the district and saw no ads nor got any mail or other contact from the Badnarik campaign he could do better on much less money.

David,
Are you telling me there’s more to having a professional campaign than hiring a -priced consultant?

I agree with Tom Bryant.

I thought Badnarik had a billboard at every intersection and visited all the residents while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.
