One of the best ideas I've heard on this forum in the past months.
Thank you! By the way, yl, you can quote a post in another thread (complete with the attribution and a link back to the original post in its native habitat) by clicking 'reply with quote', cutting or copying everything that pops up, backing out without posting and pasting that into the new thread.
I think he would. But if he were asked to in advance, he'd likely say no. He would be modest and say he wasn't the right man for the job, he'd say he has had enough, he'd recommend a younger person. But if he were nominated, he'd be honored, and he'd be unlikely to refuse at that point. In short, just as in 1957, if his nation drafted him he would serve to the best of his ability. What's more, I think his surprise would be charming and, to the degree the media showed the video, he would win people over just by being floored by the honor.
As for getting it done, most towns have local Libertarian Party chapters. Find them and crash a meeting. Now that Trump is finishing the job of turning the GOP into a joke, we should join up anyway, right? Talk the thing up. The odds are pretty good that you'll be talking directly to a convention delegate, and almost certain that you'll be talking to someone who knows a convention delegate personally.
Otherwise, we are probably already in contact with some of the delegates. I'm sure more than a few are members here.
