How come? I don't consider any religious zealot of any kind a Libertarian. Creationism in schools libertarian? no abortion even in cases of rape and incest Libertarian? Also Alaska is the only state of the USA were all the population is subsidized!! It's easy to be a Governor if you can send a pay check to everyone for nothing each year Palin Libertarian? How come?

If the LP were choosing candidates based on their experience, Barr is about the last candidate they would have picked, given that his experience was so anti-liberty.

Dondero has repeatedly claimed that "neocon" meant "religious right" and that it was "impossible" (his words) to be pro-choice and a neocon. Dondero now praises Palin as a "libertarian" despite her anti-gay, anti-choice, religious conservative views. Dondero clearly has no consistent standards for <i>his own definition</i> of "libertarian," at least none that he'd care to admit in public. It seems to me that Dondero is simply an anti-defense, anti-American, war-monger, and will define as "libertarian" anyone who shares his anti-defense, anti-American, pro-war views. I don't know why Dondero hates the American military so much as to send them into needless wars. I only wish that Dondero would take his hatred of America, and his hatred of America's military, elsewhere. Curiously, Palin is not a libertarian by Dondero’s definition.

Amazing, cause Cato leans Democrat and is usually quite cynical about any and all Republicans. For any Republican to get a pass from Cato is amazing. But Tanner not only gave her a pass, but praised her on her strong Fiscal record as someone very in line with libertarian ideals. You can listen to it at Cato.org.

In case you missed it, the Libertarian Party of Alaska leadership backed her candidacy the last 3 days of Election 2006. Even LPA Governors candidate Bill Toien, her opponent, enthusiastically backed her. She was invited to speak to two LPA meetings in 2005/06. She publicly thanked the LPA in her victory speech at the downtown Egan Ctr. Along with Cong. Jeff Flake of Arizona, Gov. Butch Otter of Idaho, and Tom McClintock of California, there is not a single Republican in the Nation that is more libertarian than Sarah. She represents the very best in libertarian Republicanism. And those who say she is not a libertarian are just extremely ignorant of her record and her support from Libertarians in Alaska. Uh, Raoul, Palin is most certainly a LIBERTARIAN REPUBLICAN!

Palin seriously hurts the campaign in the regaining of votes from those tied to social concerns...her weakness is in the fiscal arena. That is where she needs to be attacked every day, seven days a week until the election. Bob….gaining the disaffected republican vote appears to be the strategy for the campaign.

The likelyhood of McCain serving two terms is not very high. He's even hinted at such in the past. Thus, with McCain retiring in 2012, we could see libertarian Republican Sarah Palin advance to the Presidency, making her the first libertarian President since Jefferson.
