[8] Michael Badnarik: A complete weirdo. I don’t see how the party nominated him over their literal founder David Nolan at the 2004 convention. Besides Bergland, he’s probably the most boring nominee.
Badnarik didn't defeat David Nolan for the nomination, he defeated Gary Nolan, a radio talk show host and Browne's chosen successor. He also defeated Aaron Russo, a movie producer. Either Nolan or Russo would have been better than Badnarik in retrospect. Dat LNC debate performance tho.
Gary Nolan hosts his radio show in my city these days. His 2004 bid was a scarring experience for him, to say the least.
