- -----QUOTED----
- Does anyone know of any true Objectivist candidates that ran in the 1992
- presidential campaign?
-
- How about in any senatorial or house races? Please, I'm only interested in
- those that specifically talk about objectivist beliefs, not adaptations of
- centerist beliefs to objectivist ideals. Please write back or email
- me with a response. If you can, please include any specifics about their
- positions on current issues as well.
- ------UNQUOTE------
- Well, I don't know of any candidates, but Justice Clarence Thomas, in an
- interview with Reason while he was the head of the EOC, said that the
- Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged were some of his favorite books.
- And, as we all know, Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Fed, was in
- Rand's inner circle for years.
