Gary is a genuinely great guy. We started out with the fun run (the (not) exciting start is in the video above, complete with police protection!). It was supposed to be 5k, and that would have been nice, since it was unbelievably humid. But for some reason the marked course was about 6.1k, and there were some tongues hanging out. Really fun, though. The EYM was way ahead of me, not surprisingly.
Then a luncheon, which was packed. Lots of people, lots of excitement.
Then an anti-war rally. Interesting collection of people. Gary's speech was terrific, short, on-point, well received.
Later, at the cocktail party, I got a photo of Gov. Johnson and the EYM.
Then, the speech. A very nice crowd. All the speeches were good; Barbara Howe did a good job, also.
Gary Johnson is the best Presidential candidate I have seen in my lifetime, in terms of issues and experience.

I'm new around here. Who is EYM and What does EYM mean?
Zachary, EYM is Elder Younger Munger, Mungowitz's first born.
I was there and confirm Mungowitz's view that it was a great day and a full day for Libertarians in and around Charlotte. One other thing: the Emcee for the evening event did a great job too, combining humor and earnest fund raising with some of the best introductions I've ever heard. If you readers have any libertarian leaning at all, you can be proud to associated with such folks as Mike, Gary, and Barbara.
If you click through, the donor code is "Podium." You should have that changed to "Mungowitz" or maybe "the Cheesiest."
He is the best presidential candidate in a long time, that's for sure. He's no Bob Barr.
Do you think Gary is legit? Or just like the rest? http://ow.ly/cwZYD
