Libertarian VP Candidate on small business
The Libertarian Party chose its ticket for the November elections: Bob Barr and Wayne Root. Although I will be supporting John McCain in the election, I was happy to see the following quote from VP candidate Root at the convention:
Root, a colorful media personality with a dynamic and enthusiastic speaking
style, brings several large voting blocs to the Barr/Root Libertarian ticket. As
a small businessman, I will aim my campaign at 27 million American small
business owners and millions of independent contractors such as real estate
brokers, stockbrokers, insurance brokers and mortgage brokers. They are the
economic engine of the U.S. economy. Small business now creates a majority of
non-government jobs. I believe small businessmen and women across America will
appreciate the fact that someone who understands their unique issues and
concerns will be part of a Presidential ticket for the first time in modern
political history."

Will small businesses and independant contractors like REALTORs have a guy watching out for their interests? Will the Libertarian Party finally make inroads as a viable third party option?
