As the Republicans settled on John McCain to carry their banner into the fall, three things happened. First Mike Gravel, the iconoclastic former senator from Alaska, left the Democratic race to fight for the Libertarian nod. Then, former Georgia Rep. Bob Barr, a Libertarian Party member since 2006, announced a bid for the party's presidential nomination. Finally, as the GOP's primaries wrapped up, Rep. Ron Paul notched 1 million votes--just as his book "The Revolution" became a nationwide bestseller.
Paul has rebuffed multiple requests to run as a third party candidate, so what will happen to his supporters, donors, and voters? Why did Gravel and Barr join the Libertarian Party? Why do both of them want to see their former parties defeated at the ballot boxes? Hear them both in a wide-ranging debate at Reason magazine's D.C. HQ.
Other details and speakers TBA.
