Quote: And Paul Begala for Vice President?

“Tucker Carlson for president?” That’s the headline at the personal blog for Brendan Nyhan, a former Spinsanity editor who is now a graduate student in political science at Duke. Nyhan says that Carlson, the former “Crossfire” host and former writer for The Weekly Standard, among other magazines, may seek the nomination of the Libertarian Party, according to a rumor making the rounds among delegates to the Libertarian convention, which is being held in Denver this weekend.
Someone is polling the idea, at least. Nyhan links to the blog of Michael Munger, the chairman of the political science department at Duke and the Libertarian Party candidate for governor of North Carolina. Here’s Munger’s description of the phone call he received:
Just got a call from a polling firm.
Checking on Lib Prez candidates. Made sure I was a delegate to the national convention.
Guy asks, “Which of the following candidates do you support for Lib Pres nomination?”
(Reads list, including Barr, Gravel, Ruart, and Root. Also includes Tucker Carlson. I figure that Carlson is just a spoiler; he has never said he’s a Libertarian, and isn’t running for Prez.)
I answer “Undecided,” which is true.
Guy asks, “After that first choice, what is your SECOND choice?”
Stunned for a moment, I pause and say, “Still….undecided.”
Guy says, “Final question: Which of those candidates would you say has true Libertarian values?”
I’m a big tent guy, so I say: “All of them….EXCEPT Tucker Carlson.”
Guy rings off. I am smug, thinking I caught them on their spoiler question.
Except that, Tucker Carlson has apparently decided to think about it. And Carlson may be funding the polling of Lib Nat Conv delegates.
Lew Rockwell, the former congressional chief of staff to Ron Paul, is hearing the same rumors. “Certainly somebody is polling LP delegates to ask if they would support him,” Rockwell writes on his personal blog. |
