Hopefully.  The Libertarian Party is an outreach organization of the
Libertarian movement -- presidential campaigns are the major focus of
that ideological outreach.  Hopefully Harry Browne can interest new
people in his Libertarian oriented book.

Libertarian candidates are also charged with doing their own
fundraising.
A Libertarian book written by the candidate is an excellent vehicle
(if hopeful) for raising much needed campaign funds.

Heck, I just received $1600 in travel expenses as a consultant for
four days, just on airline tickets and hotels alone.   I'll never
see a penny of that money in my own account.

Unless you have some evidence that she didn't function in such a
capacity,
there is no there there.

Lacking any evidence of either corruption or mean-spiritedness ...

Ha!  It's an unintentional laugh riot.  The guy claims Browne is a
collectivist!  And who does zychik see as a better candidate -- Steve
Forbes!  I don't think zychik is dealing from a full deck.
