LYAN: Live-blogging LP Prez Nomination

[redneckgaijin]

Here.

I'm pretty much ignoring the nominating speeches, which will end in about another fifteen minutes as I type this. They're pretty much boring and repetitive- and far, FAR too long at sixteen minutes per candidate. With eight candidates, that's over TWO HOURS...

EDIT: Bob Barr wins narrowly on the sixth ballot. Over the course of the weekend, he's apologized for USA-PATRIOT Act, for prosecuting marijuana users, and for authoring the Defense of Marriage Act- the last he did during his own nomination speech before the first ballot. I have to wonder how many Presidential campaigns have the unofficial motto, "Mea culpa."

How many? Too few, I'd say.

Ah, so the man who wanted to drum all the Wiccans out of the US Army is the Libertarian candidate? Good to know. Did he, by any chance, apologize for that one, too, or can I assume he still holds that position?
