The Liberty Papers

That Mitt Romney came in first in the CPAC presidential straw poll isn’t all that surprising.  That Ron Paul tied with Sarah Palin for third place certainly is.

Now, The American Conservative is asking whether South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford will run for president.  In a rather flattering-to-Sanford profile, Michael Brendan Dougherty outlines why the former congressman and current governor is certainly the fiscal conservative’s conservative while describing some distinctly libertarian traits about the man.

After eight years of Bush and presumably four or more of Obama, we could certainly do much worse.  The AmCon article is located here and is well worth the read.

UPDATE: Over at The American Spectator, James Antle seems to agree with my general sentiment on the topic.
