"I guess this is just another lost cause, Mr. Paine. All you people don't know about lost causes. Mr. Paine does. He said once they were the only causes worth fighting for. And he fought for them once, for the only reason any man ever fights for them; because of just one plain simple rule: 'Love thy neighbor.'... And you know that you fight for the lost causes harder than for any other. Yes, you even die for them." Jefferson Smith, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington

Theodora Nathan, 1972 vice presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party was the first woman in U. S. history to receive an electoral vote. John Hospers was the LP presidential candidate. Roger Lea MacBride was the Republican elector from Virginia who cast his votes for Hospers/Nathan rather than Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew. MacBride had written a book on the Electoral College, which had prompted his selection as an elector. I personally knew Nathan, Hospers, and especially MacBride, who later served as the 1976 LP presidential candidate.
