My grad school officemate, friend, and co-author Michael Munger (better known as the Chair of Duke’s Political Science department and North American editor of the journal Public Choice is running for Governor of North Carolina). Sadly for Mike, when he chose among the many parties clamoring for him to be their standard bearer, he chose the Libertarian Party, which is not even on the ballot in the state!
Actually Mike is running to get the Libertarian Party back in the long term political debate in NC and is engaged in a signature drive to get the party on the ballot. Although I doubt that any libertarians read MR, I thought I’d give Mike a shout out and see if any supporters might emerge (NC natives for signatures and votes and true friends of liberty anywhere for $$$).
By the way, Mike’s previous elected offices include being President of the Wash U. economics grad student association (which I’m pretty sure he rigged. I know for sure he rigged the election of his successor because I had massively stuffed the ballot box for a candidate who didn’t win) so he may well be OVER-qualified for the post he seeks.
C’mon people, we can’t let this happen:
I’m libertarian, and I read MR. Unfortunately, I’ve also been persuaded by the economists’s argument that voting is more trouble than it’s worth.
Am I alone in perceiving Mike Munger as the last, best hope for saving the human race?
I saw this on a Poli-Sci Blog and thought it appropriate.

Mike Munger does two things: chew gum and kick ass. And right now, he’s outa gum.
Mike Munger once gave me one of his campaign bumper stickers, but made me promise that I wouldn’t actually put it on my car….
I can’t take the credit I just saw it on this blog:
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36608343&postID=116812281872572196
I drink my coffee from a Munger4Governor mug in Argentina (where they use his poop as currency).
emails produced by MR. a recent selection:
> Subject: weird
> your advisor is running for governor?!?!?
> come to think of it, i wish mine were running for president, actually.
and then moments later:
> Subject: and, dude,
> he’s a libertarian?????????????
I would make a contribution to Munger 4 Gov but since I have dealings with Editor Munger, I would hate to create the appearance of a quid pro quo.

P.S. Are there campaign disclosure laws in NC? Munger, give me a call, i have bundles of ….. “stuff” for your freezer.
