As I write this, Dizzy Dezzi is on the floor of the Libertarian Convention in downtown Denver, writing down the results in the fourth round of balloting for the Libertarian 2008 Presidential Nominee.

Her husband who we refer to as SSgt Dizzy is on leave from Iraq from his third rotation. His current rotation is for 15 months.

He scheduled this leave so that he can vote as a nominating delegate for the Libertarian Party. Dizzy has been a significant activist for the party during the past ten years and a one time Colorado Lt Gov nominee is the 8:30 AM Memorial Day speaker, the final day of the convention. Both have been associated with the Libertarian party for ten years.

The results of the nominating delegates choices today should be known tonight.

CNN just reported live from the floor, focusing on one time Republican Bob Barr who says the Libertarian Party is “the party of substance” and that in this one convention, he has participated in more important substantive debates than in 30 years “for that other party”.

CNN reported that a Bob Barr Libertarian candidacy could command a swing vote away from Republican John McCain. They also reported that anti-war Republican Ron Paul, a favorite of many libertarians who has not dropped out of the Republican race, still enjoys considerable support.

While introducing the televised speech by Bob Barr, for a few seconds behind the reported you could see Candidate Mike Gravel speaking from the podium on the floor. He is a Senator from Alaska and earlier this year participated in the Democratic Presidential race and debates before eventually dropping out and joining the Libertarian Party.

Dizzy has indicated that she is very interested in hearing what he has to say but demurred when asked who her voting delegate husband would give the nod to.
