A token conclusion

Denver - The tokens have all been collected and accounted for, and seven Libertarian candidates for president received enough to participate in tonight’s debate and to give nominating speeches on Sunday. Former Georgia congressman Bob Barr tied for the most tokens with 94. Also turning in 94 were Vegas odds maker Wayne Allyn Root and Texas business consultant Mary Ruwart. Joining those three in tonight’s debate will be: - Mike Gravel (67 tokens) - Mike Jingozian (63 tokens) - George Phillies (62 tokens) - and Steve Kubby (60 tokens).

Each of the more than 560 delegates to the convention were given a token, really a ticket, to award to one of the 14 candidates running for president. A candidate had to collect 10 percent, or 56, tokens to participate in the debate and 30 tokens to give a speech on Sunday.
