Thanks Ian... I love this!! Cool stuff!

I believe that the amount of effort you, Sam, & others are expending on local-level big-government Keene bureaucrats would have a much greater effect when aimed at self-described "small government" types on the State level. The Statists can't even seem to get their heads around what you guys are saying. The "small-government Constitutionalists", on the other hand, are ready for a trip down the red-pill rabbit hole...

On the other hand...

Horn also criticized the Legislature for enacting a civil unions law last year that gives gay couples the same rights and responsibilities of married couples in all aspects but name.

Government shouldn't be involved in religious rites (among other things, of course) at all, but to further condemn a "why must you always work so hard at making our lives more difficult" work-around to a purely, unnecessarily government-generated contracts problem is just plain mean-spirited...

No word back from anyone at Horn's campaign.  Anyone got a direct email for her?

Nor have I.

Her former campaign manager told me that her new(!) campaign manager is: David Chesley <david@jenniferhorn.org>

Her website has no "email Jennifer" link anywhere Sad
I notified David about that in the same email as my question.

Guess they don't want our votes that bad.

He's trying real hard to reach out to us. He knows we're his natural base.
I agree with Gard that Bosse is ideologically closest to libertarian of all the candidates.

I'd sure love for a few dozen people to tell him they'd love to vote for him, but can't, for the same reason I can't...

Indeed. Horn’s issue statements sound like typical rhetoric one would expect from a conservative—which makes me suspicious of it, since it sounds exactly like what a conservative voter would expect—want—to hear.

Bosse, on the other hand, is very explicit about his libertarian positions—protect the second amendment, free speech, free markets, free people, &c.. But then he’s also very explicitly supporting positions that are most certainly not—he’s for the war and the border police-state. And this is interesting: “I am pro-life. I do not support taxpayer subsidies for abortion services.” If taxpayer funding for abortion is his only opposition to it, or at least the only opposition which he’d want to legislate, excellent: I’m neither in the “pro-life” nor “pro-choice” camps, I just think the government should just stay out of it—and a similarly-minded politician is someone I’d definitely want to support.

I'd sure love for a few dozen people to tell him they'd love to vote for him, but can't, for the same reason I can't...

Sounds like a good idea. I’ll be at LFOD. What’s the back-story to this? What specific issue are we talking about here?

Prohibition.
If he changed his position on this 1 issue, he'd have my vote.

Talked to Bosse for a while today.  I'll boil it all down:

"Anarchy is tyranny"

"Marijuana rots your brain"

Those were the most absurd things to come out of his mouth.  The rest of it was him talking about how "we" decided on this system, and that I should work within it to change things.  Seems like statists like him are boggled at what voluntaryists are doing and all they can do is plead with us to play by their rules.

He acknowledged that he doesn't really support the free market (due to at least his anti-drug position) and made it clear his allegiance is with the government and not peaceful noncooperatives.

Just another statist.

After the marijuana comment, (I had asked if he thought I should be jailed for smoking it. He said no, he just wants me to stop.) I didn't get the chance to ask what he would have done to me for selling it to another consenting individual.  He broke away before I could ask.

Oh, and later in the conversation, he developed a visible nervous tick in his face.  I believe he was quite uncomfortable.
