Mark Hinkle wins National Chairman for Libertarian Party

BREAKING NEWS!!

From Eric Dondero:

Meet the new National Chairman for the Libertarian Party. Mark Hinkle is from California. He's a very longtime LPC member, and has served in numerous capacities including running for statewide office on the Libertarian ticket.

Hinkle won on a third ballot beating Wayne Root 268 to 228.

In a brief interview with Libertarian Republican Hinkle said:
I think the delegates have spoken quite clearly that they want to unify the LP. They want the internal battles to cease. They want to go forward from this convention united in the cause of Liberty. I very much want to work with all liberty-minded groups, special groups that we share a common interest in.

In the last year I have gone to 5 or 6 Tea Party events, particularly in Silicon Valley. They are eschewing any political labels. They want to work with all groups who are concerned that government is too big, taxes are too high.
Root was very gracious to Hinkle with his victory, and pledged his full support.

The above are two url's of the competiting factions of the Prohibition party.

They have factional fights, too. The Prohibition party is, however, politically irrelevant. Ditto the LP.
