We had a 2 hour long forum and debate session today in Cheshire County. 5 pro-liberty candidates took part in the forum and debate. There was even a straw poll afterwords. All 5 pro-liberty candidates won the straw poll except Gary Johnson who came in 3rd. Eventually, the whole forum will air on the local TV station.

Afterwords, a couple of the LP candidates did a sign wave at the Keene Central Square. 1 of them was interviewed by a local atheist anarchist.

Obama didn't double fuel efficiency. Politicians don't double fuel efficiency, engineers do.
