He tours the country doing several radio shows every day as a candidate. He mentions his book almost everywhere he goes, so could it be called a book tour? I don't consider what he's done as spending campaign money on a tour, because mention of the book is an aside whereas he spends most his time talking about politics what should be done with government. >Also, there has been next to no money spent >on advertising (the Libertarian party always does an infomercial to >get the word out on party), while Harry's daughter has received over >$30K as a "campaign consultant". Most people in the libertarian community agree that Browne has done an excellent job with the resources he had (Liberty magazine stated that he didn't waste funds at all, rather made excellent use of them). There have been questions about the pre-nomination connections between the party and Browne's campaign... so I won't question the campaign's connection to his daughter. What can you say? >While I'm sympathetic to Libertarianism, from what I've seen Harry >Browne is more of a corrupt, mean-spirited Republican than a >Libertarian. From what I've read about all the candidates (on the skeleton closet page), Browne is the least corrupt.
