Robert
Sarvis made
the biggest splash for the Libertarian Party in many years with
his surprising 6.6 percent, or nearly 145,000 votes,
total in 2013’s Virginia gubernatorial race. The former tech
entrepreneur and lawyer did this even while making Republicans
angry that he was allegedly stealing votes from their man
Ken Cuccinelli, dodging bogus accusations of being a
secret Democratic Party plant, and annoying some of the Libertarian
hardcore by answering questions about health care by taking about
policies that stymied competition rather than just repeating
“repeal Medicare!”
Sarvis is trying politics again, running for U.S. Senate from
Virginia, in a race likely to include incumbent Democrat Mark
Warner, vying for his second Senate term, and Republican Ed
Gillespie, former Republican National Committee chair and
consummate insider.
Sarvis, writes Brian Doherty, is a rational guy, not given to
the emotionally charged side of the small-government message. Will
it play at the voting booth?
