About Michael McDermott, Libertarian for New York Governor - Video
RALEIGH - The man who might determine the outcome of North Carolina's U.S. Senate race this year makes his living delivering pizza, conducts most of his campaigning via YouTube videos and is considering whether to become a driver for Uber, the taxi-like car service.
Political experts and polls say Libertarian Sean Haugh of Durham isn't likely to win, although he says he can.
But the polls say Haugh appears to be pulling some voters who otherwise would pick lawyer and former bank executive Kay Hagan, the incumbent Democrat, and many more voters from the Republican candidate, state House speaker and former business executive Thom Tillis.
In the face of the tens of millions of dollars being spent by the mainline campaigns and their outside supporters and detractors to flood North Carolina's airwaves, computer screens and mailboxes, low budget may be a generous term to describe the Haugh campaign.
Haugh, whose name rhymes with "saw," estimates he has spent $7,000. "I'll be surprised if I get over ($10,000)," he said.
Social media outlets - Facebook, Twitter and, especially, YouTube - have been Haugh's primary tools to reach out to the voters.
He has made 30 videos since March in the basement rec room of campaign manager Rachel Mills' home. Next to a poker table covered with Hot Wheels tracks, and a few feet from an overflowing toy box (Mills has two young children whose nap times affect the shooting schedule), Haugh sits at a bar and talks to the camera. He has a craft beer close at hand, opens with a friendly "howdy" and quickly outlines his positions.
The video titles include "Stop the War on Drugs," "Delete the NSA," "Term Limits for Reporters" and "Pollution is a Crime."
The channel has about 235 subscribers. The viewership runs from 125 on the most recent missive, posted Monday, to 13,850 for his opening statement, issued six months ago.
Haugh's campaign page on Facebook has about 1,125 likes. On Twitter, he has about 400 followers.

President Barack Obama has taken the United States to war, now in Syria and Iraq, in violation of the U.S. Constitution just as he did in Libya in 2011.
Whatever differences they may claim, Democratic and Republican politicians are aligned when it comes to foreign meddling, said Nicholas Sarwark, chair of the Libertarian National Committee. President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush both resort to war in the end.
The president cites the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force to justify dropping bombs 13 years later. But its approval by Congress applied only to nations or groups that planned, authorized, committed or aided the 9/11 attacks. The Islamic State (IS) did not exist in 2001 and is an enemy of al Qaeda.
Even if the AUMF could be applied, the Constitution requires that Congress vote specifically on a declaration of war before engaging in military action. For the same reason, the 2002 Iraqi War was also illegal.
Last week, congressmen and women refused to vote on a war declaration. Instead they authorized funding to arm and train appropriately vetted Syrian fighters.
This is wildly reckless and irresponsible, said Sarwark. The old parties in Congress just spent $20 billion arming and training Iraqi soldiers, only to see U.S. military weapons land in the hands of the Islamic State. This new measure could end up arming future enemies in Syria as well.
Obama has admitted that IS presents no immediate threat to the United States.
The bigger threat is endless war and a heightened risk of terrorist attacks on U.S. citizens as a result of military intervention, Sarwark said.
The Libertarian Party and its candidates call for getting out and staying out of Iraq and Syria.

After years of political obscurity, libertarianism is finally having its day, at least according to The New York Times Robert Draper.
Libertarians, who long have relished their role as acerbic sideline critics of American political theater, now find themselves and their movement thrust into the middle of it, he wrote as part of the August cover for The New York Times Magazine.
According to Draper, shifting attitudes toward issues such as same-sex marriage, government surveillance, marijuana decriminalization, foreign intervention, military spending (though, attitudes seem to be swinging back toward interventionism in the weeks since Drapers article) and even reduced sentencing for minor drug offenders prove that the ideology once reserved primarily for third parties is emerging as a major force in American politics.
But while Drapers story focuses almost exclusively on the trends of national politics, as Tip O'Neill famously said, all politics is local. So whether or not Drapers assessment of the Libertarian Moment is correct (The Atlantics David Frum certainly doesnt think so), its worth considering the prospects of libertarianism in the state of Utah.
Regional politics
As far as definitions are concerned, libertarianism is typically understood to be the belief that government should interfere as little as possible in the lives of citizens. As an ideology, libertarianism can manifest itself in more organized capacities for example, an official Libertarian Party was founded in 1971 or as simply an ideological leaning within either of the existing major parties. Either way, those who claim libertarianism in either form are often uncomfortable with increased federal or state power, and hold self governance up as the standard for societal success.
In many ways, Utah seems like a prime state to accept a place in Drapers emerging libertarian America. In a 2013 article by The Washington Posts Reid Wilson, historian Colin Woodard outlined what he thought to be 11 American nations identified according to the unique political landscapes of all the major regions in America. The far West, according to Woodard, encompasses the Great Plains and the Mountain West, which includes Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Montana, as well as much of Colorado, Washington, California, New Mexico, the Dakotas and Nebraska.

Libertarian candidate for governor Adrian Wyllie is about to start running his first TV ad of the campaign on stations in Tampa Bay. His low-budget campaign relies on advertisers who support him, such as a Tampa dry cleaning company, to donate TV ad time as in-kind contributions on cable channels. In the 30-second spot, Wyllie tells voters they have an alternative to Gov. Rick Scott and Charlie Crist. Here's the script:
"You have been inundated with attack ads about Rick Scott and Charlie Crist. Sadly, they are mostly true. The good news is, you have a third choice. I'm Adrian Wyllie, Libertarian candidate for governor of Florida. I am in this race because I'm like you. I'm fed up with the politicians using money and power to benefit themselves while making our lives more difficult. I want you and your family to enjoy freedom and prosperity. Don't let them scare you into voting for more of the same. This time, take a stand."
Wyllie's campaign said the ad will appear in other TV markets as other supporters agree to donate their advertising time. Spokeswoman Danielle Alexandre said the spot is making its debut in Tampa Bay because "this is our home."
Wyllie, 44, of Palm Harbor, is a self-employed IT consultant who opposes the Common Core teaching standards and the state's REAL ID law and has pledged to cut the state budget by one-third if he's elected in November. An earlier profile of his candidacy is here.

The Libertarian candidate for Texas governor, Kathie Glass is on the road again as she is on another 50-county installment of her Texas 254 Tour. In the tour, Glass vows on spreading her message across the 254 counties of Texas before Election Day, when she will take on Republican candidate Greg Abbott and Democrat Wendy Davis in hopes of succeeding Gov. Rick Perry.
On Monday, Glass campaign bus rolled into Plainview on her tour through the Texas Panhandle which began from her ranch outside McDade on Sept. 20. Glass plans to visit every county in the region and attend events in Amarillo and Lubbock, including the South Plains Fair.
Armed with flyers and a soapbox, Glass says she is ready to take on the tyranny of the federal government, but also the broken two-party system in Texas, which she says more often serves political cronyism then the people.
Texas is not only plagued by federal tyranny from Washington, but also cronyism here at home, said Glass. Tax monies for favored businesses, water for developers, land for toll roads and pipelines, cronies are using Texas government to become more rich and more powerful at the expense of the rest of us.
According to Glass, liberty and country are dying primarily to federal tyranny caused by a federal government that refused to abide by the Constitution and calls for the nullification of unconstitutional federal acts as the remedy.
The Republican nominee Greg Abbott thinks standing up to the federal government means filing a lawsuit, said Glass. If thats a winning strategy, why are we in this mess? Dont sue the buzzards, arrest them.
Glass, who is a former lawyer in the Houston area, adds that Washington is broken and the two-party system is corrupted by special interests.
If we are to save our liberty, our Constitution and our country, we have to chart a new course away from Washington and outside the corrupt two-party system, said Glass.
Glass said she believes that the current border crisis was caused by a combination of federal overreach and cronyism.
Immigration is not delegated to the federal government in the Constitution. If we are going to solve the border crisis, Texans must enforce state law against trespass and other crimes on the border using our Texas State Guard, and we must craft our own Texas immigration policy that included a welcome guest worker program, said Glass.

BISMARCK, N.D. -- The Libertarian Party of North Dakota came out against a right to life measure at a statewide meeting in Bismarck, and declared its support for a measure that would replace the state Board of Higher Education.
The partys meeting kicks off its final campaign push prior to the Nov. 4 general election.
Measure 1 would place a single sentence in the state constitution stating that a right to life at all stages of development must be protected.
Libertarian Party officials in a statement said placing such language in law has failed in other states. They go on to declare Measure 1 a radical change to the North Dakota Constitution that gives human rights to fertilized eggs.
The Libertarian Party came out against Measures 4 and 5 as well. Measure 4 amends the ballot measure process and Measure 5 would create a state conservation fund using 5 percent of the states oil extraction tax revenue.
The party also declared support for Measure 3. It would replace the eight-member part-time state Board of Higher Education with a three-member full-time Commission of Higher Education.
Libertarian officials said they support it, but added that they believe such a change is only a slightly better system than what is currently in place.
