Where to find coverage of the Libertarian Party National Convention
I'll be adding to this post as I find other sources, and bumping it to the top as I update it until the convention is over.
The Libertarian Party National Convention is this weekend, from Thursday, May 22, through Monday, May 26. The complete schedule of meetings and events is here. The LP national website says that the Presidential nominee will be selected Sunday, May 25. The Delegation Chairs Manual explains the rules and procedures of how the business meeting will work.
C-SPAN's website currently says that they will begin covering the Libertarian Party National Convention on Saturday, May 24, at 9 PM ET (6 PM PT). Independent Political Report spoke with someone at C-SPAN and says that coverage will resume Sunday, May 25, at 10:30 AM ET (7:30 AM PT) and run for the rest of the day. LIVE FEED HERE

This weekend? And I thought the Missouri GOP was a bit off their rocker scheduling the state convention for the weekend after Memorial Day.

In order to make sure that delegates can make it to a convention, The LP often ties it to a longer holiday weekend.
It used to be that the convention was held during the week of the Fourth of July. I always said of those conventions to those outside the LP, that we spent the 4th the same way the Founders spent the first one. In a convention hall bickering with each other.

Umm, no true Libertarian would have voted for McKook anyway, so that argument is bogus.
Although there are probably some members of the Retard/Republican caucus within the LP that just love the guy...
