So is JXN endorsing Gary Nolan, or will he be waiting until the convention in Georgia??? lp.org Gary Nolan wins California Libertarian primary Gary Nolan handily defeated two challengers for the Libertarian Party's nomination for president in California’s March 2 Libertarian primary, winning 58.8 percent of the vote. "I want to thank all the voters who supported me in California and I hope we can carry the momentum on to the national convention in Georgia," Nolan said. Coming in second was Hollywood producer Aaron Russo with 24.7 percent, followed by Texas Libertarian Michael Badnarik with 16.5 percent. This was the first Libertarian primary in which Russo was included. Tuesday's California primary was the third in which candidates for the Libertarian nomination for president took part. It appeared that Badnarik had won the Wisconsin primary on February 17 with just nine votes more than Nolan, but the Wisconsin Elections Board certified the results on March 5 and reported that Nolan had won by 76 votes, with 1,490 to Badnarik's 1,414. In the early February Missouri primary, Nolan took 874 votes (45.2 percent), beating Ruben Perez (8.5 percent) and Jeffrey Diket (7.9 percent). A hefty percentage (38.5 percent) of Libertarian voters said they were uncommitted at that time. A Massachusetts primary was also held on March 2, but results from that election will not be available for up to a week, according to the Secretary of State's office. The Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate will be selected by delegates at the national convention, scheduled for May 27-31 in Atlanta. Senator John F. Kerry won the Democratic primary on Super Tuesday and President Bush is running virtually unopposed for the Republican nomination. In other California election news, Libertarian candidates for the U.S. Senate from that state faced off, with Superior Court Judge James Gray defeating former LP California state chair Gail Lightfoot -- winning 57.2 percent of votes counted to Lightfoot's 42.8 percent. Gray will face Democrat incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer and Republican challenger Bill Jones in the November election.
