Libertarian Lefty has some kind words for member of the Libertarian Right

From Eric Dondero:

Thomas Knapp aka "Knappster" is a regular commenter here at Libertarian Republican, and sometimes contrarian-like contributor. He is generally regarded as a Left-Libertarian, and on the stridently AntiWar side of the movement. Ironically, Knapp had some kind words for Right-Libertarian Wayne Root, who is currently seeking the Nomination for Libertarian Party National Chair. The rap on Root is that he's got the showmanship and media skills, but lacks all-important organizational ability. Knapp complimented Root for beating his opponents at releasing an all-important list of backers.

Knapp at IPR:

Root has produced a list of endorsements from prominent Libertarians who, to one degree or another, command the respect of their fellow party members.

Root was recently endorsed by 8 State LP Chairman, a number of elected Libertarian officeholders, and two former LP Presidential candidates.

The National Convention for the Libertarian Party will be held in St. Louis over Memorial Day weekend.
