LP News *co...LP News did not cover the convention. <BR/><BR/>LP News *covered up* the convention. <BR/><BR/>Do you remember 6 ballots for President, with some candidates endorsing others? There's no mention of the votes, let alone who lost. Do you remember a narrow margin between Root and someone for VP? 'someone' remains nameless, along with the vote. Do you recall a modest dispute between the Reform caucus and Restore '04 over the platform? The platform goes unmentioned, let alone the platform amendments that passed. Oh, yes, did you hear that the LNC had elections for its members? The LP News editor did not, or so it seems.<BR/><BR/>Someplace out there are the people who nominated and seconded Barr. Who were they? When you nominate someone, their performance is your responsibility.<BR/><BR/>There seem to be some consequences. That very expensive dollar count up clock on the LP.org site (which, it appears, does not count papermail donations)?<BR/><BR/>On July 30, late in the evening, it stood at $132,727. Two weeks later, it stood at $149,007,and increase of 16.3 thousand dollars in two weeks. We'll have to wait to the 20th or so for the LNC to file its monthly financials to learn what part of monthly income the dollar clock represents. If the LNC is going to stay solvent, that part had better be *small*.George Phillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430038472888222992noreply@blogger.com
