(Generally, I voted for Libertarians and Republicans in state and local elections. Two exceptions were for sheriff and a school board seat. I always read the LWV sheets, seek out other news, and pick the person, not the party.)
However, Browne was a button-down person, an accountant type. He did bring with him a large contingent of voters who already knew him for his hard-money writings. But he ran on a platform of changing the government. His best book was How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World which is about changing your own life, rather than the lives of others. That could have been a winning platform, but it was not the message of the Partyarchy which wants to win government jobs as secretaries of departments.
Seems like poetic justice for the Hill and the Dems.
