Long way to go yo from where we are now...good luck.
The closest one, unfortunately, is the craziest of the group: Barr. In no way am I endorsing him, just saying McCain and Obama certainly aren't conservative and that Barr is - in an extremist, misguided way. Barr and the Libertarians are history revisionist, naive about isolationism, and too anti-consumer to fit my definition either.

Are there any John Adams great-greats running?
