Jacob Hornberger was conspicuous by his absence at the convention today. Although he is a candidate for the presidential nomination, for some reason he chose not to attend. Browne and the other three who are running got along well, there was a strong sense of camaraderie among them. Browne got the loudest cheers of the lot. Russell Means' speech was a real stem winder, he probably got the loudest cheers of the day. His candidacy in 88 was an exciting time. Here was a guy who had actually taken up arms against the federales running on a national ticket, only to fall three votes short to the Ron Paul faction. (The guys in suits faction) Ah well, it's probably just as well. Having the founder of AIM as the standard bearer would not have helped with the radical image the party was trying to dispel at the time. Near the end of the day, Melanie (yes, that Melanie, of "I've Got a Brand New Pair of Roller Skates and You've Got a Brand New Key" fame gave a speech and sang a song. The old folkie-lefty has become a libertarian! It was a very nice way to wind down the day.
