Nixon was the one who converted me into a libertarian, actually. Regarding my "favorable" comment on him, I was only saying that excluding Watergate and the following coverup, he was no different than any other president. The nice thing about being one is that with virtually no libertarians in office, we never have to take the blame for anything. <VBG>

Incidentally, I'm still pissed at Anderson for sticking himself in the middle of the 1980 race and distracting attention away from Ed Clark. In that election there was Carter, Reagan, Clark, Anderson, Barry Commoner, and the usual cast of Socialists, etc. A trivia question for you concerning that election:

Carter and Reagan finished 1-2 or 2-1 in all states but one in 1980. Which of the other candidates managed a 2d place finish in a state, and in which state was it?
