The Libertarian Party experienced a minor revolt at its biennial convention this weekend over concerns that its leading vice presidential candidate isn't libertarian enough, complicating its efforts to achieve a stronger-than-usual showing in November's presidential elections. During a vice presidential debate on Friday night, Weld said he would keep the U.S. in the United Nations, a position counter to most Libertarian activists. William Weld is running for vice president alongside former New Mexico Gov. When a party member asked about foreign policy, Johnson deferred to Weld, citing his expertise on the issue. On Saturday, during a question-and-answer session with party officials, Weld came off less like an insurgent politician and more like an aloof Bay State patrician.
